President Trump is reportedly preparing to redirect employers on how they should hire, prioritizing an applicant's skills over a university degree. Fox News has learned that the president will likely sign an executive order Friday, instructing the nation's largest employer, the federal government, to take a new direction in its hiring tactics. The order is expected to occur during a board meeting that advises the administration on worker policies. The White House isn't necessarily eliminating degree requirements but is instead encouraging that skillsets for jobs be prioritized, making a degree less important. This strategy is expected to help employ individuals from underprivileged areas who could not necessarily afford a two- or four-year degree.
