An August 12, 2020 McKinsey Study entitled “How do American  Workers Progress to Higher Wage Jobs” published that, within the next 5 years, there will be 27 million newly created roles in the US within the  functional designations of virtual customer care, solar engineering, the medical field, sales and business operations to name a few. However, there is a population of people who are rarely considered for these in-demand jobs: the more than 70 million working American adults who have high-school diplomas but not bachelor’s degrees.

Many companies use recruiting software that automatically screens resumes for degrees. As a result, American workers face a frustrating  challenge when searching for viable corporate jobs. The fact is, these  workers have skills that are under-recognized and underused. “With  training and support, they could build skills that position them for  attractive, higher-wage jobs.”
