Career Readiness Program

Achieve More With Your Education

The key element of the Career Readiness Program is introducing students to the skills necessary to succeed at their first post-graduation opportunity.

Our Career Ready Micro-Credentials frame a path for you to articulate your skills and experience for future employers who will ask questions about these competencies in interviews. The achievements of each Micro-Credential give you practice with skills valuable to employers in all fields and environments. The skills/competencies you will focus on include:
