The Unveiling of “UNTAPPED”
Featuring some of the most influential figures in the corporate world like Mark Cuban, GM CEOs, JPMorganChase leaders, and Walmart’s top brass, “UNTAPPED” surfaces on Netflix in the U.S. This joint venture between Workday and SpringHill sets the stage for a rallying cry to Corporate America – urging the adoption of inclusive talent strategies.
Humanizing the Journey
“UNTAPPED” unfolds the poignant stories of six young individuals maneuvering a demanding skills training initiative facilitated by Year Up United. This immersive experience paves the way for coveted Fortune 500 internships, aimed at reshaping the trajectories of these aspirants’ lives.
Embracing Skills-Based Hiring
Through a rich narrative tapestry of human experiences, the documentary, spearheaded by acclaimed filmmaker Josh Kahn, casts a glaring spotlight on the pressing need for skills-based hiring. This approach pivots towards valuing an individual’s complete skill set rather than fixating solely on traditional educational credentials.
Insights from Industry Titans
Visionary leaders like GM’s Mary Barra, JPMorganChase’s Jamie Dimon, Walmart’s Doug McMillon, and Workday’s own Aneel Bhusri and Carl Eschenbach, alongside entrepreneur Mark Cuban, offer candid reflections on the essence of skill-centric recruitment in the ever-evolving job landscape.
A Timely Message
