By a vote of 111-2, the N.C. House approved a bill yesterday to re-evaluate four-year college degree requirements for state jobs. House Bill 210, Reduce Barriers to State Employment, directs the State Human Resources Commission to assess state government jobs and remove academic degree requirements when practicable. The bill also instructs the commission to determine when work experience and training, such as military service, an apprenticeship and trade school education, can replace the need for a college degree.
