Utah follows in the footsteps of other states and private companies that have pivoted away from requiring four-year degrees to fill certain jobs.
Maryland, for example, announced in March that it would drop the degree requirement for thousands of jobs and instead ensure pipelines were in place for job seekers “skilled through alternative routes,” such as apprenticeships, boot camps, military service and other forms of on-the-job training. The state teamed up with Opportunity@Work to help close the opportunity gap.
