Millions of STARs (skilled through alternative routes) need their chance to shine. #futureofwork
1. Fund growth of any learning institutions delivering wage gains for low-income workers.
2. Entitle working learners to 6-month income support in free, debt-free, or de-risked “last mile” training.
3. Reward in tax code employers' training for portable skills.
1. SaaS #Recruiting platforms should “screen in” STARs - those “skilled through alternative routes”: @indeed, @LinkedIn, @Workday etc will have “inclusion mode” employers can turn “on” for any job.
2. Huge market for #AI augmentation of workers' #skills.
