This employability skills series focuses on helping job seekers and employees identify and build the skills most needed across all levels and areas of today’s workforce. We have done the research and developed these interactive workshops to assist individuals in becoming more confident in these key areas: Communication, Teamwork, Self-Management, Decisiveness, and Problem-Solving. This workshop series will help explain how and why you are WorkREADY, whether it is for a new job or a promotion.

If you’d like to earn a WorkREADY certificate, be sure to complete the onetime online pre-assessment. If you have already taken the pre-assessment, you do not need to retake it. After completing the workshops, you’ll receive a link to the post-assessment, which you can complete to earn your certificate.

Decisiveness is the ability to make decisions efficiently (quickly) and effectively (correctly). In this workshop you will explore the qualities of a decisive person: not afraid to make mistakes; considers how their decisions affect others; makes small decisions by themselves but knows when to lean on others for bigger decisions; uses available information to make decisions; and reflects after a decision has been made.
