Governor Ned Lamont today announced that the State of Connecticut is joining a coalition of state governments working to make skills-first talent practices a reality as part of the "Transformers in the Public Sector" initiative, a first-of-its-kind effort led by the national nonprofit organization Opportunity@Work that aims to break down barriers to public-sector employment for workers who have developed valuable skills through alternative means other than obtaining a bachelor's degree, such as military service, community college, training programs, partial college completion, or, most commonly, on-the-job experience.
