Trump Directs Employers To Prioritize Skills Over College Degrees by Nobody: 10:58am On Jun 26, 2020
President Trump is reportedly preparing to redirect employers on how they should hire, prioritizing an applicant's skills over a university degree.

Fox News learned that the president will likely sign an executive order Friday, instructing the nation's largest employer, the federal government, to take a new direction in its hiring tactics.
The order is expected to occur during a board meeting that advises the administration on worker policies.

Ivanka Trump, the president’s daughter, adviser and co-chair of the American Workforce Policy Advisory Board, has recommended the federal government -- which employs more than 2 million civilian workers -- re-strategize who they hire.

"We are modernizing federal hiring to find candidates with the relevant competencies and knowledge, rather than simply recruiting based on degree requirements," she told The Associated Press.
"We encourage employers everywhere to take a look at their hiring practices and think critically about how initiatives like these can help diversify and strengthen their workforce."

The White House isn't necessarily eliminating degree requirements but is instead encouraging that skillsets for jobs be prioritized, making a degree less important.

They can recruit their street boys into their hospitals and institutions. Since it's coming from Trump, it's normal, constitutional and welcome.
