skills employers desire; the workforce business needs

CentreREADY is a collaborative worker certification initiative designed to build a better local workforce; one that best matches Centre County employers with employees who possess the desired core skills and competencies. An outgrowth of the CBICC's Business & Industry Partnership, CentreREADY recognizes that business success and growth, and subsequently, economic strength, depends on employers' access to a quality workforce.
CentreREADY is a CBICC/educational and community partner initiative.
Centre County employers have identified six specific core skills as being essential for employees to possess, fueling the 21st century workforce.
