Business Roundtable released three new Multiple Pathways Initiative (MPI) resources to aid employers as they implement skills-based hiring strategies within their companies. Informed by Roundtable member companies’ own lessons learned from developing and scaling skills-based talent strategies, these resources underscore America’s leading CEOs’ commitment to expanding employment opportunities for more U.S. workers without college degrees.

The new MPI resources — available to employers of all sizes — include:

• Impact Measurement Framework Playbook: A detailed guide that offers practical recommendations to help companies quantify the success of their skills-based talent initiatives.
• Cultivating a Skills-Based Culture: A compilation of best practices for how companies can promote a culture that supports skills-based hiring and advancement for workers without college degrees.
• Regional Skills-Based Strategy Guide: A comprehensive toolkit to aid companies in implementing skills-based strategies at the regional level that leverage community partnerships and reflect local employment needs.

About MPI

MPI is a multi-year, targeted effort to build and bolster employment pathways for Americans without college degrees. With support from the initiative, Business Roundtable companies are implementing strategies to better recognize and evaluate the skills of qualified job-seekers without degrees. By emphasizing candidates’ skills in the hiring and promotion process, companies can expand their qualified talent pools and extend economic opportunity more broadly.

MPI is one of the Roundtable’s eight Corporate Initiatives that support member companies’ efforts to address pressing workforce challenges. Through these initiatives, Business Roundtable member companies — representing millions of employees nationwide — are working together to ensure that employees have the skills they need to succeed in a rapidly changing economy, expand economic opportunity and maintain America’s competitive edge.
