TEAR
THE PAPER CEILING

There’s a flaw in the labor market

A weakness that holds back skilled applicants.

Like when nearly 70% of new jobs insist on a bachelor’s degree, but fewer than
50% of workers have one—

BAM.

70+ million people in America just hit the paper ceiling.

The paper ceiling: (n) the invisible barrier that comes at every turn for
workers without a bachelor’s degree. See also: no alumni network, biased
algorithms, degree screens, stereotypes, and misconceptions.

Workers with experience, skills, and diverse perspectives – held back by a
silent limitation.

It’s time to tear the paper ceiling and see the world beyond it.

I pledge to shatter stereotypes and misconceptions and to see people for all of
their experiences, skills, and diverse perspectives.

I pledge to recognize the untapped potential of the 70+ million American workers
who are STARs – Skilled Through Alternative Routes – so they can flourish.

I pledge to tear the paper ceiling, to see the world beyond it, and to let STARs
shine.

THERE’S A FLAW IN THE LABOR MARKET

The paper ceiling: (n) the invisible barrier that comes at every turn for
workers without a bachelor’s degree. See also: no alumni network, biased
algorithms, degree screens, stereotypes, and misconceptions.

The paper ceiling holds back more than 70 million workers in the U.S. who are
STARs - Skilled Through Alternative Routes, rather than through a bachelor’s
degree. They’re the 50% of the workforce that has developed valuable skills
through military service, community college, training programs, partial college
completion, or, most commonly, on-the-job experience.

It’s time to tear the paper ceiling and see the world beyond it. Where
"qualified" means qualities, not just degrees. A world where untapped potential
gets to flourish. STARs are all around us. It’s time to let them shine.
