Lancaster: On Wednesday, January 13, 2010, the PA CareerLink of Lancaster County recognized more than 125 residents who completed the requirements for the Career Readiness Credential over the last several months. People earn the Credential by completing the Ready2Work program where they test and improve their ability to use reading and math skills at work and refresh their knowledge of good workplace behavior before taking WorkKeys, a national workforce readiness assessment.
