Now this is a good start but we soon run into the next, more difficult problem: how to assess the background? Even for people with domain expertise, it's tough to evaluate people's work. I see many top, top companies default to names of institutions you graduated from, names of companies you worked at, your corporate titles, and (less frequently but more useful) publications.
Completely agree. Technical skills should be learnt remotely. Many older adults struggle with that modality but we cannot pander to it. The more choice-less we make it, the more these adult learners will begin to rewire to adapt and survive.
