The Yolo Youth Opportunity Council, Workforce Investment Board, business leaders, agencies, and educators have come together to develop the standards and criteria for earning this certificate.

         

What is a Work Ready Certificate?

A Work Ready Certificate indicates the student's readiness for the school-to-work transition.  It reflects important skills, attitudes, and values that are essential for success in the workplace.  Readiness indicators are reviewed and approved by the business and education community.

Why Should Students Earn a Work Ready Certificate?

Business leaders are anxious to hire graduates who possess work ready skills.  Students with proven work ready skills will find employment more easily.

How Do Students Get One?

Each participating high school has a process for verifying school indicators required to earn the certificate.  After students have completed their Work Ready Certificate Applications, students are scheduled for an interview by members of the business community.  If successful, students are issued a Work Ready Certificate signed by the business partner interviewers and the principal.
