Stakeholder Buy-In Template for Skills-Based Hiring
This customizable presentation template gives workforce and government leaders a ready-made framework for building a compelling, data-driven narrative around hiring workers Skilled Through Alternative Routes (STARs) — people who developed their skills through community college, apprenticeships, bootcamps, or on-the-job experience rather than a four-year degree.

The deck walks through four sections:
- Your region's workforce needs
- A national introduction to STARs
- A localized view of STARs in your area
- Recommended next steps
Example slides can be swapped out with your own regional data. The template pairs with STARSight, a free labor market dashboard from Opportunity@Work, and includes a companion guide with step-by-step instructions for customizing each slide.
