Tearing the \u2018paper ceiling\u2019: McKinsey supports effort driving upward mobility for millions of workers<\/strong><\/a> — from mckinsey.com<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

September 23, 2022There\u2019s a hidden talent pool that most employers overlook\u2014the more than 70 million workers in the US who are STARs, or workers \u2018skilled through alternative routes.\u2019 Whether through community college, workforce training, bootcamp or certificate programs, military service, or on-the-job learning, STARs have the skills for higher-wage jobs but often find themselves blocked from consideration.<\/p>\n

This week, nonprofit Opportunity@Work and the Ad Council have launched a nationwide campaign to \u2018Tear the Paper Ceiling\u2019 and encourage employers to change hiring practices. McKinsey is providing pro bono support to the effort through data and analytics tools that enable recruiters to recognize STARs and their skills.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile companies scramble to find talent amid a perceived skills gap, many of their job postings have needlessly excluded half of the workers in the country who have the skills for higher-wage work,\u201d says Byron Auguste, founder of Opportunity@Work and a former senior partner at McKinsey. \u201cCompanies like the ones we’re proud to call partners in this effort\u2014and those we hope will join\u2014can lead the way by tapping into skilled talent from a far wider range of backgrounds.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are lots of reasons why someone might not begin or complete a degree that have nothing to do with their intrinsic abilities or potential. We know there are better ways to screen for talent and now we have the research and tools to back that up.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
