Work ethic - sometimes called soft skills, workplace readiness, or foundational behaviors – are the most in-demand set of skills for employers. Nearly 9 out of 10 hiring managers nationwide say work ethic is their most important factor in hiring. The challenge is that fewer than 1 in 5 candidates have these basic skills, and almost all job-readiness training is focused on academic and technical skills. However, new strategies in developing work ethic are making a huge difference in employability and retention across every population.

Through curriculum, certification, and consulting, they are equipping communities to prepare their local workforce for employment and life-long success.
This engaging and interactive presentation highlights simple training and leadership approaches that everyone can use.
