What This Order Does
This executive order removes the requirement that applicants for city jobs must have a four-year college degree for certain positions. Instead, the city is allowing people to qualify through work experience, skills training, or other credentials that demonstrate they can do the job well. || This could affect people who want to work for the city but don't have a bachelor's degree, as they may now have more opportunities to apply for jobs they were previously barred from. Workers with years of relevant experience or training from other sources might find their qualifications are now recognized as valuable. The city government's workforce could become more diverse if hiring practices now consider a broader range of backgrounds and experiences.
