Overview of the Ready to Work Program

OUR SOLUTION

The Ready to Work program aims to create opportunities and empower individuals through collaboration with local high schools, community organizations, and employers. Designed around two main focuses—soft skills (essential skills training) and industry-focused training—the program addresses the skills gap for students by providing essential workplace skills needed to thrive in any company.

With the number one pain point for employers being the challenge of finding qualified talent, the program helps develop a pipeline of workers prepared to meet employers’ talent needs. By aligning with shared hiring needs across multiple industry clusters, the Ready to Work program ensures that students learn the specific skills employers seek. Additionally, students gain hands-on experience in these industries during their school year, equipping them with the competencies necessary to enter the workforce successfully.
