Governor Larry Hogan has announced the launch of a multi-pronged, first-in-the-nation workforce development initiative to formally eliminate the four-year college degree requirement from thousands of state jobs. The STARS (Skilled Through Alternative
Routes) program will immediately impact 300 current vacancies in the Maryland state government.

I love to see Maryland's leadership on recruitment and employment of individuals regardless of where they are in their educational journey! Four year degree requirements for certain industries can eliminate qualified and hard-working candidates that may be moving through the community college system and could be gaining valuable work experience. I would love to see this flexibility encourage High Schools to better prepare students for graduation!
