Qualified complex skills aren’t exclusive to traditional degree paths. Veterans, career-changers, and those with hands-on technical expertise bring critical problem-solving abilities that too often go unnoticed in conventional hiring. Here's how Robert Mott puts it: "Skills-based hiring acknowledges that the best talent often comes from non-traditional pathways, including veterans, career-changers, and individuals with hands-on technical expertise gained outside conventional academic settings."
