About Opportunity Work

Opportunity@Work is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to creating a labor market where all talent can shine, focusing specifically on STARs—workers Skilled Through Alternative Routes. These individuals, who have gained skills through methods other than a traditional bachelor’s degree, are often overlooked in today’s labor market. Opportunity@Work is working to generate $20 billion in wage gains for these STARs by advancing skills-first hiring practices. The organization offers insights, tools, and services to enterprises, public sectors, and philanthropies to help recognize and hire skilled STARs, thereby promoting economic growth and filling unoccupied positions with competent talent. Their mission includes promoting awareness through initiatives like the "Tear the Paper Ceiling" campaign and fostering systemic change in hiring practices across the nation.
