"This is a proposal from Google to improve schemas around JobPosting and Occupation so that we can explicitly indicate when degree-level qualification is not required. We would like to find a quick path to an initial approach, while simultaneously opening conversations around how to best model this (e.g. adding more granularity, country-specific details etc.). We believe that adding this basic expressivity could lead to improved Job search (in Google services and elsewhere) for job seekers with lower levels of education. With the COVID-19 response in mind, it would be good to find an immediate workaround for this gap in Schema.org: We have https://schema.org/educationRequirements (on JobPosting and Occupation) which allows Text values, as well as EducationalOccupationalCredential to express what is needed for some job, but not what isn't. With millions experiencing unexpected unemployment due to the COVID situation, moving quickly here could have a significant impact." |

Since we are still developing how we are using this information, you may not see any appearance or effect in Google Search right away." |
