<p class="MsoNormal">Good afternoon, all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Georgia is reviewing the entry requirements for <b><i>all</i></b> jobs starting with those that have college degree requirements. Currently, in session, Senate Bill 3 – Reducing Barriers to State Employment Act of 2023, has been introduced.
It passed the Senate and the House and was favorably reported. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>A BILL to be entitled an Act to amend Chapter 4 of Title 50 of the O.C.G.A., relating to organization of executive branch generally, so as to require state departments, agencies, boards, bureaus, offices, commissions, public corporations,
and authorities to assess educational, experiential, and training requirements for positions of employment; to identify positions of employment for which such requirements can be reduced; to require efforts to reduce the number of positions for which a four-year
college degree is required; to provide for a short title; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><o:p> </o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Georgia has also developed a Workforce Strategy Initiatives (WSI) workgroup for each job family (19). The workgroup consists of Executive branch leadership, Human Resources Directors/Managers, Frontline Managers, and compensation/classification
personnel. The goal of these workgroups is to develop initiatives to help recruit and retain employees. Of course, the pay was mentioned in all workgroups, but entry qualifications were also brought to the table.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Currently, there are 1,371 jobs 1,021 have degree requirements. <o:p></o:p></p>
