Georgia Work Ready Program

Earning the Georgia Work Ready Certificate enhances employability by indicating skill and knowledge levels to potential employers. The certificate shows job applicants have the portable skills—reasoning, reading and basic math—to serve as a foundation for training. It also tells employers that you are ready, willing and able to work and learn. You can earn this certificate at no charge by taking the assessments at SWGTC.

Certificate holders have an advantage when applying for jobs, a complement to a diploma and resume. For employees already on the job, a certificate can demonstrate skills needed for a promotion or for training that could lead to greater productivity and effectiveness. There is no charge to Georgia residents for this opportunity. For more information, contact SWGTC’s Department of Economic Development at (229) 227-2579.
