Stuck & Stagnating: Are You Moving Or Standing Still in Your Career?
Washington Monthly’s article on The Stranded Talent Dilemma suggests the real problem isn’t getting the job, but no career mobility. People are employed but rarely moving up or seeing raises. Their knowledge and skills aren’t recognized, and they aren’t sure what to do to progress. And the issue even touches those who don’t finish college and can’t afford (time and money) to be students again. Six practical moves are given to those in hiring positions to rethink their process to help people get going.

Read the longer answer on how AACRAO’s new Competency Set came to be and how you can start using it.
