SUBSTITUTE ACTIVE-DUTY MILITARY EXPERIENCE

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-07-21 · report

Miami-Dade County is reporting on job classifications where active-duty military experience can substitute for traditional college degree requirements. The People and Internal Operations Department (PIOD) identified 485 job classifications within the classified service system where this substitution is feasible. Additionally, 683 classified service job classifications do not require a college degree. This initiative aligns with the County's commitment to attracting and retaining a skilled workforce by valuing practical experience. The report is a response to a resolution adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on November 4, 2025, directing the County Mayor to identify and facilitate such substitutions. The report will be placed on the next available Board Agenda.
