This is gonna be sticky....


County work force diverse, but only in lower ranks, report indicates: "The goal for management at the county should be to think outside of the box when filling higher positions, Nash said. Administrators should ask themselves if their current criteria for hiring, like prior experience and formal training, give women and minorities a fair chance to compete.
Traditional 'glass ceilings' have kept women and minorities out of higher-paying fields, so they often lack experience and training, Nash said. Administrators need to look at other qualities in an effort to bring more of them into the more elite fields, he said. "
If "experience and formal training" (like education?) are out as requirments what's going to replace them?
