I am extremely honored to have the chance to direct these films and hopefully have a positive impact and change so many peoples lives. @adcouncil @ogilvyny @ogilvy Over 70 million workers in the U.S. are STARs, workers Skilled Through Alternative Routes rather than through a bachelor's degree. STARs make up 50% of the U.S. workforce and have developed valuable skills through community college, workforce training, bootcamps, certificate programs, military service, or on-the-job learning, rather than through a bachelor’s degree. STARs face a “paper ceiling” – the invisible barrier that comes at every turn for workers without a bachelor's degree. Lack of alumni networks, biased algorithms, degree screens, stereotypes, and misperceptions all contribute to the paper ceiling, creating barriers to upward economic mobility for STARs, even though they have demonstrated skills for higher-wage work. It’s time to tear the paper ceiling and see the world beyond it. STARs are all around us. It’s time to let them shine.
