The Audience Hub
There is an invisible barrier that comes at every turn for workers without a bachelor’s degree. It’s called the “paper ceiling” and it’s the antiquated notion that no degree means no skills. This practice continues to have a severe, negative impact on qualified individuals who have the skills to do the job, but simply lack the piece of paper to be considered. The Tear the Paper Ceiling campaign was launched in 2022 with support from a national collective of corporate, nonprofit, workforce, and philanthropic partners to change the narrative for workers who are Skilled Through Alternative Routes (STARs) rather than bachelor’s degrees. Now STARs and companies are uniting to create a new and more equitable future of work in which skills matter more than what’s on paper. With more and more organizations joining in the effort, the Tear the Paper Ceiling campaign will continue to grow, allowing STARs to do the same. This installation, which was created for the initiative, uses resumes from STARs to construct a physical manifestation of the paper ceiling. As we begin to tear the paper ceiling, we will see what is possible when every STAR has the opportunity to shine.
