> Yes, because it's company policy.

But why? Lol what does it achieve? What’s the point?

> when you're reviewing the resumes of Jr engineers who have literary zero work experience

Maybe look at what they can do not where they learned it? How do you evaluate self-taught and people with no degrees? Does no degree beat non-accredited or not?

And here’s another question - why do you trust the accreditors? What do they know that colleges don’t? How do you evaluate an accreditor?

You're asking me about a company policy I had no part in. But why? Lol what does that achieve? Making you look clever on the internet? Concern trolling?

If there's no point in anything and nothing is ever achieved then why does anyone spend time and money on getting an education and including it in their resume? Maybe there is a point and something is achieved after all.

EDIT: >How do you evaluate self-taught and people with no degrees?

I don't, I literally just told you company policy is Jr candidates must have an accredited degree.

I have no idea what nonsense you're rambling on about. The question was who is checking degree accreditation and that's what I answered.

If my company told me to check accreditation I'd ask these questions to them because it seems discriminatory and nonsensical and I'd be worried about their thinking.

> why does anyone spend time and money on getting an education and including it in their resume?

The point is the education - not the accreditation.
