Benefits for Job Seekers

In today's slow job market the "first hired and last fired" are those who employers are convinced will be highly productive. The EFF Work Readiness Credential will provide a competitive advantage to job seekers, signaling to employers that you possess the necessary skills to be successful in the workplace.

"In the past, I would have just blown up and been fired, but I was able to remember the skills I learned in class, negotiate, and keep my job."

The EFF Work Readiness Credential provides a clear, comprehensive picture of what jobseekers need to know and be able to do to be successful in entry level work.

• Jobseekers can assess their own strengths and weaknesses in relation to the profile, and see where they need to strengthen their skills to be successful in the labor market.



• Since the credential defines a cross-industry standard, jobseekers who earn the credential can be confident that they are qualified for a wide range of entry-level jobs and ready to progress along a range of career pathways.



• Since the credential is based on a nationally validated profile, jobseekers can carry it with them as they move from one place to another, confident that it will provide a competitive advantage, wherever they are.
