Are you looking for information on developing skills-based solutions for workforce education and development? If your answer is yes, then plan on attending the Worldwide Interactive Network’s (WIN) pre-Convention Career Readiness Certificate Summit on Wednesday, December 12, 2007, in Las Vegas. The Career Readiness Certificate is a portable credential that promotes skills and career development for individuals and confirms to employers that they possess basic workplace skills—reasoning, reading and basic math.
The Summit will take place at the Las Vegas Convention Center as a part of the ACTE Annual Convention. Participants will discuss how to develop, implement and sustain initiatives that certify individual, community and regional work readiness. The Summit will also provide an opportunity to network with nationally recognized leaders in the field and discover best practices that will help educational and workforce professionals at all levels advance their career readiness program to meet employers’ skills needs. This Summit will feature speakers that represent business, education, government and economic development viewpoints on closing the skills gap using the Career Readiness Certificate as the core strategy. The Summit is designed to encourage dialogue on how individuals, organizations and states can move from “talk to action” in addressing college and work readiness challenges. Please keep checking this Web page, as well as Worldwide Interactive Network’s Web site, for more information regarding this innovative and timely Summit. A tentative schedule is below for your reference. While there is no registration fee to participate in the summit, space is limited.
