The WorkReady Certificate is a state-certified skills-building program designed to shape foundational and essential skills for any career field. Maine employers, service-providers, and educators developed the curriculum based on the real skills employers said were foundational to a good employee. Some baseline skills covered are: teamwork, resumes and cover letters, mock interviews, workplace conflict resolution, determining priorities, and knowledge about general business practices. The WorkReady certificate course has been broken into four (4) separate modules over a period of four (4) weeks each. Successful completion of each module will earn the learner a “ticket.” Once the learner has earned all four tickets, they will be issued their certificate. High school diploma students who participate in all four modules will earn one (1) elective credit.
