Many companies are perpetuating the 'paper ceiling' by prioritizing degrees over skills, thus limiting their talent pool substantially and excluding talented non-graduates.
Khyati Sundaram emphasizes that 'it's not inclusive and it narrows your talent pool significantly,' advocating for a broader view on hiring beyond just university graduates.
Kieran Rowley points out that 'degrees often fail to keep pace with rapid changes in technology,' indicating that skills should be prioritized in hiring.
With over 70 million skilled through non-traditional routes, the push for breaking the 'paper ceiling' is critical to enhancing workforce diversity and inclusivity.
