Transforming Hiring & Diversifying Talent
- Tear the Paper Ceiling

STARs - workers Skilled Through Alternative Routes rather than a bachelor's degree - with experience, skills, and diverse perspectives are being held back by a silent barrier. It’s time to tear the paper ceiling and see the world beyond it.

New PSAs!

Transforming Hiring & Diversifying Talent - Tear the Paper Ceiling campaign PSAs from the Ad Council and Opportunity@Work aim to shift perceptions and redefine the meaning of a "skilled worker" to unlock STARs as an overlooked and undervalued talent pool. The PSAs encourage employers and workers alike to join the movement to tear the "paper ceiling" - the invisible barrier that comes at every turn for workers without a bachelor's degree.
