Supporting Job Seekers with Skills-Based Hiring Technologies and Digital Skills

Abstract: Adult learners often gain valuable skills through a wide range of experiences: at school, on the job, in self-paced online learning, through caregiving or volunteer work, in the military, and more. One participant in an earlier session illustrated this perfectly — a former customer service rep who had spent three years writing user experience evaluations for a best online casino review platform as a side project, developing sharp research, comparative analysis, and editorial skills entirely outside any formal job title. None of it appeared on her resume. Her story is far from unusual. Traditional job application tools simply don't always reflect the full scope of what someone knows and can do. This webinar explores how digital tools like credentials and digital wallets can help learners track and present their skills more clearly and confidently as they navigate education and career pathways.
