| August 29, 2007 |  View for printing |
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin yesterday announced a new program as part of her administration's commitment to Alaska's workforce development. The Work Ready/College Ready program allows students and adult job-seekers to gauge their readiness for work, college and occupational training, and to improve the basic skills valued by employers and educators. The Alaska Departments of Education and Early Development, and Labor and Workforce Development are program sponsors.
Work Ready/College Ready http://www.eed.state.ak.us/tls/CTE/workready.html provides an opportunity for Alaskans to be assessed in three basic skill areas -- applied math, reading for information and locating information in graphic formats -- that are critical to transitioning from high school to the workplace, college or occupational training.
