The US job market is broken for tens of millions.

Workers bear the risks/debt of education mismatch, get 'screened out' of better jobs if they lack costly degrees, face huge barriers to gain new skills.

@guardian gave me 500 words to say how to fix it.👇🏾

@guardian Opportunity Marketplace: re-wired labor market rules & tools to empower Americans without 4-year degrees to earn more in better jobs, gaining new skills w/lower risk & higher reward.

Millions of STARs (skilled through alternative routes) need their chance to shine. #futureofwork
@guardian Policy elements?
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.
@guardian Role of #technology?

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.
