Skills over Degrees: The New Hiring Game

Time: August 29, 2025 at 04:30 PM - 05:30 PM
Venues: Venue 2 - Opportunity Bay

The traditional emphasis on academic qualifications is rapidly giving way to a more practical, performance-based approach to hiring. As industries seek job-ready talent, demonstrable skills—ranging from technical know-how to problem-solving and adaptability—are becoming the new currency of employability. This session will explore how companies are shifting toward skill-first recruitment models, the rise of micro-credentials and skill certifications, and what this means for learners, educators, and employers.
