Jan Tan, Assistant Director of Skills Development at Institute for Human Resource Professionals (IHRP), noted that although some employers have removed qualification requirements from their job descriptions, recruiters and hiring managers continue to prioritise graduates. This suggests that current hiring practices still weigh qualifications more heavily than a combination of traditional achievements and acquired skills. Hence, she emphasised the importance for employers, training providers, industry partners, and other stakeholders to adopt a skills-based mindset in order to advance a skills-based economy. Verifiable credentials, such as those offered by Accredify, are essential to this advancement. These credentials ensure transparency and trust in the skills individuals possess by providing a reliable and clear method for validating skills and competencies. This transparency not only aids in selecting the right candidates but also promotes continuous learning and skill development, thereby supporting the advancement of a skills-based economy! #RegionalEducationBriefing2024 #Education #Hiring #SkillsBased
