What is
WorkReadyAustin?
In response to the
workforce needs of employers, Workforce Solutions-Capital Area has introduced WorkReadyAustin,
a skills validation and assessment tool designed to help job seekers “verify” work
readiness skills – including soft skills, and in turn, help employers identify and
select the right candidates to interview for their job openings. For many Austin employers,
skills such as teamwork, communication, initiative, and problem-solving are often
deemed more important that foundation skills such as reading and math.
WorkReadyAustin
provides entry-level job applicants with targeted instruction and
validation of the basic workplace skills most desired by local employers.
Job seekers who
satisfactorily complete the requirements will be issued
WorkReadyAustin
certificates, signed by Workforce Solutions and the Austin Human Resource Management
Association (AHRMA), that prove to employers that the job seeker has been exposed to
and mastered both important Personality/Soft Skills and Foundational Skills. If
you, as an employer, wish to learn more about available, qualified candidates that
can help your company meet its workforce needs, please contact:
