Ready for Industry
Preparing the Future Workforce
Ready for Industry is a new program designed to address career awareness and preparation issues for the near-term job seeker – from late high school students through adults. Ready for Industry (RFI) bridges two gaps that exist in the preparation of many potential skilled workers:
- What industry pathway do I want to pursue?
- What is the basic info that employers want me to know that I might not learn in school?
All the Tools You Need to Succeed
Ready for Industry is a series of online, self-paced courses with lessons and activities that provide actual learning to the individual.
Businesses often find new employees to be unprepared for the workplace. Many schools and colleges provide technical training on specific skills, but students still don’t see the big picture of the common workplace terminology, issues and processes.
RFI creates a bridge between standard K-12 education and the knowledge needed for success in industry. It covers the gaps in common technical training and the industry and workplace competencies in tiers 3 and 4 of the workplace competency model.
For each of the 5 highest-demand industries, RFI provides self-paced, online instruction on:
- Introduction to the Industry
- What it is like to Work in the Industry
- Industry Terminology and Common Practices
- Career Opportunities and Descriptions
- Current Issues and Trends in the Industry
- Career Pathways, Education and Certifications in the Industry
- Workplace Expectations in Industry
This knowledge will make your job candidates more prepared for the workplace.
