    How can we build a system that supports skills-based hiring?

    They discuss:


    Unlocking Career Opportunities: How digital badges are redefining professional advancement beyond traditional degrees.


    Degrees vs. Skills: The growing preference for demonstrable skills over academic credentials in the job market.


    Educational Shifts: Why educational institutions must recalibrate their offerings to meet labor market demands.
