In an effort to secure the best talent on the market, more and more companies are expanding their applicant pool to include professionals without a traditional college degree.
Job search site Glassdoor compiled a list of who some of these companies are, with top employers like Apple, Google and IBM making the cut. Recently, FlexJobs examined that list to see which companies are also in their database with open positions that allow employees to work from anywhere. (FlexJobs notes that while some of the available work-from-home positions at these companies do require a college degree, there are many open positions that don't.)
Take a look at the list below to see which flexible companies you should consider working for if you don't have a four-year college education:
1. Google
According to FlexJobs, instead of requiring a college degree, Google has a lot of open positions that require what the company calls "equivalent practical experience."
2. Ernst & Young
While some positions at EY still require a bachelor's degree or higher, FlexJobs says that the global financial services company has a lot of open flexible positions in its United Kingdom division that do not require a college degree.
3. Penguin Random House
