Ready2Work is our program which assures that the people who we see for services at the PA CareerLink are ready to work.  We test their foundational skills and provide enrichment; we coach them on behaviors appropriate for the workplace around attendance, getting along, and being prepared for emergencies; and we provide graduates  of our training with a Career Readiness Certificate that indicates that they are ready to work.  Click here to see more details about the program.

Employers participate in Ready2Work by talking with a Business Services Representative about the kinds of jobs that they normally hire.  We profile the job using O*Net and WorkKeys and provide you with that information so that you and we have a good understanding of your requirements. 

At some point, one of our folks will ask you to consider becoming a Ready2Work employer where you guarantee to provide an interview for persons with the profile matching the one for which you are looking in return for getting an interview with a person that is ready to work.  We also ask that, if the person works out and you hire them, that you make a contribution of $75 to the PA CareerLink after 90 days of successful employment.  It's a win-win across the board.
