America is moving towards a skills-based economy in which individuals’ skills and competencies are what matter, not where or how they obtained them,” said Chairwoman Foxx. “For too long, the mainstream perception has been that a baccalaureate degree is the only way an individual can be successful in the workforce. As a result, businesses are struggling to fill in-demand, good-paying careers. This hearing will focus on the rise in skills-based hiring and policies that can facilitate an emphasis on skills to prepare a stronger, more competitive workforce for the 21st century economy.” 


What:

Full Committee hearing titled “Competencies Over Degrees: Transitioning to a Skills-Based Economy” 


When:

10:15 a.m. on Thursday, June 22, 2023
