Our platform only displays careers, trainings, and available jobs that provide growth and learning opportunities, offer living wages and benefits, and open doors to more senior roles - all without requiring a college degree.

Why don't I see a job title I'm interested in on your site?

At SkillUp we have set specific standards for recognizing a career path or job title as a "growth opportunity." Our dedicated team conducts thorough research to pinpoint the most sought-after career paths and industries that readily accept candidates without a degree. Our comprehensive career catalog encompasses promising paths in business, technology, healthcare, skilled trades, and supply chain. If you don't find a job title that piques your interest, it may simply mean that we have yet to conduct research on it or that it has not met our rigorous qualification standards.
