What is LIFE & Workforce Readiness?
Life and Workforce Readiness ensures that students graduate high school equipped for success in a diverse array of high-quality post-secondary opportunities. This encompasses the knowledge, skills, and dispositions essential for excelling in post-secondary education or training programs, ultimately leading to meaningful and gainful employment. Our College and Career Readiness programs and network are designed to support this mission, providing students with the tools and resources necessary to thrive in their chosen pathways.
College Readiness entails being prepared to enroll in and successfully complete entry level credit bearing academic programs at 2 and 4 year post secondary schools as well as being equipped with the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to transition successfully. This entails having mastered rigorous content knowledge, demonstrated ability to apply knowledge through higher order skills, and the ability to navigate the pathways that will gain access to post secondary opportunities.
Career Readiness pertains to three major areas: core academic skills and the ability to apply those skills in concrete situations in order to function in the workplace and in routine daily activities; employability skills (such as critical thinking and responsibility) that are essential in any career area; and technical, job specific skills related to a specific career pathway. These skills allow students to enter career pathways that offer gainful employment and opportunities for advancement.
We will be focusing on 10 Dispositions- qualities that we must gain to lead us in our journey to become College and Career ready.
