Skills-First Hiring Campaign Toolkit

This toolkit is a resource to extend the reach of this important campaign. It includes PSAs, helpful tips on engaging media partners, and local activation ideas to engage your partners and your community. The goal is to raise awareness of the "paper ceiling" – the invisible barrier that comes at every turn for workers without a bachelor's degree.

Below are tips to amplify your support:

  • Make It Newsworthy: Incorporate content into your local news segments. Talking points available.
  • Post on Social: Use our pre-scripted content, or create your own.
  • Share Online and Offline: Embed our PSAs and social graphics on your site and social channels. Use our guide for local media activation tips.
