Newly established Governor Josh Shapiro signed his first executive order on Wednesday, marking his first action in office.
According to an announcement, Executive Order 2023-03 states that, effective immediately, 92 percent of government jobs will not require a four-year-college degree. It instructs that the Office of Administration will emphasize skills and experience in Commonwealth job postings and ordering a review of the remaining eight percent of state government jobs that currently require a four-year degree.
Shapiro said this opens up opportunities for everyone in the Commonwealth.
A website has launched to allow applicants to easily search among thousands of positions that don’t require a four-year degree. That can be found at employment.pa.gov.
