Sessions

Increasingly, employees are looking to skilled credentials - a credential, industry certification, apprenticeship - to help them enter and/or advance in the workplace. However, employer practices are not keeping up with this employee trend. Despite exponential growth, HR leaders and hiring managers are often slow to incorporate these non-traditional markers into their employment and advancement processes. This can frustrate employees who are looking to advance by gaining relevant skills.
