In Virginia, you will soon no longer need a college degree to be eligible for most jobs in the state government. Starting next month, almost 90 percent of state government jobs will stop requiring applicants to have a college degree and stop giving preference to those who do.
"On day one we went to work reimagining workforce solutions in government and this key reform will expand opportunities for qualified applicants who are ready to serve Virginians," Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) said in a Tuesday press release. "This landmark change in hiring practices for our state workforce will improve hiring processes, expand possibilities and career paths for job seekers and enhance our ability to deliver quality services."
