| About the Work Readiness Credential |
Objectives
The EFF Work Readiness Credential will produce better results for employers and workers. By making clear what skills and knowledge are necessary for success, the EFF work readiness credential will help align supply and demand across the workforce system.- Employers can count on the workforce they need to enhance productivity and competitiveness.
- Jobseekers coming into the workforce system from a variety of pathways will be able to demonstrate their readiness -- not only to enter that system, but also to earn more advanced credentials and to qualify for better jobs.
The EFF Work Readiness Credential can also improve the focus, alignment, and accountability of the workforce development system. By providing a common, standardized and measurable definition of work readiness, this new credential will enable:
- One Stop Centers and job developers to accurately assess the readiness of jobseekers for employment.
- Education and training programs to understand what outcomes they are responsible for so they can design courses of instruction that prepare students to qualify for this credential.
- Workforce Investment Boards to set a uniform standard for performance, and define a clear and measurable set of results they expect from vendors in the system.
- The public workforce system to improve its credibility with employers, job seekers, and the public by delivering on the promise of building skills that enhance competitiveness and contribute to economic and social well-being.
