Breaking Down Hiring Standards, AI, and Evolving Talent Pathways

In this episode, Joe and guest co-host Dr. Anastasia Wickham, Provost and Chief Academic Officer at Reach University, chat with Matt Sigelman, President of the Burning Glass Institute, and Mark Schneider, Nonresident Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and Distinguished Professor Emeritus at Stony Brook University. Together, they discuss the intersection of labor and education market data, why employers are dropping bachelor's degree requirements and what that signals for the value of the degree, whether admissions standards truly matter in today's education landscape, barriers to scaling skills-based hiring, how AI is playing into all of this, and much more.
