Transforming into a Skills-Based Organization

In today's rapidly changing workplace, traditional hiring practices are holding companies back. Requiring degrees or a certain amount of experience often excludes talented candidates who have gained skills through non-traditional paths-whether that's on-the-job learning, certifications, or life experience. As organizations struggle to fill open roles, expand their talent pipelines, and meet equity goals, many are rethinking how they define and evaluate talent.

But dropping degree requirements from job descriptions is just the start. Becoming a skills-based organization requires a thoughtful, practical reworking of how jobs are defined, how candidates are evaluated, and how hiring decisions are made. I'm delighted to have you join me for this course where you will learn more about the benefits of transforming into a skills-based organization.

I'll walk you through practical strategies and examples, grounded in research and real-world applications, to help you identify and remove the barriers that prevent you from accessing and supporting top talent-especially those from nontraditional backgrounds. If you're a leader, a hiring manager, or member of an HR team working within an organization that wants to make the shift from traditional, credential-based hiring to a more inclusive, skills-based approach-this course is for you. Whether you're just starting to explore skills-based practices or are trying to move from theory to action, this course offers a clear, research-informed path forward.

Along the way, I'll share practical strategies, examples, and tools you can apply immediately-no matter the size or stage of your organization. If you want to make hiring more effective, inclusive, and future-ready, this is where to start.
