The speaker predicts that the number of companies dropping degree requirements will continue to grow, indicating a shift towards skills-based hiring in the job market.
"So, as many of you know, I've been a big supporter of course careers for a long time. I'm not just a partner. I actually own stock and I'm an investor. So, why did I partner with Course Careers? because I truly believe in what they're doing. A lot of people have questions about online certifications versus traditional college degrees. Let me be clear. I wouldn't put my name behind something unless I knew it worked. The thing is, not everyone has the time or resources to spend four years in college or take on massive student loan debt. Horse careers offers a practical, affordable way to launch a career in a high demand field like tech sales, IT, and accounting where companies are hiring based on the skills needed, not broad college degrees. In fact, right now, one in three companies are dropping degree requirements, and that number is only going to continue to grow. I know some people think online programs are a quick fix, but that's not the case here. Course careers takes effort and commitment, but they provide you with a streamlined, proven path. They offer up-to-date, self-paced courses, one-on-one or group coaching from people that work in the industry, and most importantly, they help you actually get hired. Just look at graduates like Nomeso, who went from driving FedEx trucks to a cyber security job at Disney. That didn't happen by chance. He put in the work and course careers guided him every step of the way. And what truly sets course careers apart is that it's not just about learning skills, about landing a job. Their curriculum is designed based on what employers actually need. And their network of industry coaches will guide you through the entire process from learning the skills to interviewing, resume help, and beyond.
