Welcome back to the GME News Digest Podcast Series. Hi, I'm Rodney Alsup, your host for this episode, "Embracing Skills-Based Hiring in Graduate Programs."

Ashley Mowreader's insightful Inside Higher Ed article inspired this episode. Her title, "What Skills-Based Hiring Means for Higher Ed" caught my attention, so I thought I would explore its significance for the graduate education community. Her article was among the twelve pieces of content I included in last week's curated selection for GME News Digest subscribers.
