It’s important that change is reflected in recruiting, too, and research from job search platform Indeed shows that 59% of employers are considering eliminating college degree requirements altogether. This can be particularly beneficial in the tech industry, as 61% of employers are looking to fill roles in 2024, according to Robert Half Technology.
