We recommend that you take the first step to becoming work ready and undertake an ERS Career Development Assessment using the Employment Readiness Scale™ (ERS) tool. The ERS is an online self-assessment tool that measures how ready you are for work, identifies gaps in work readiness, creates action plans to move you towards becoming work ready and makes referrals to programs and services to help you find work.

Where to from here? After this course, the next step in the Employment Readiness Program is to work on the skill gaps that have been identified. Our 1 day job ready workshops are perfect for all abilities and include:

  • Career Decision Making – Career Planning
  • Job Skills Match
  • Skills Profile and Skills in Demand
  • CREATE your Personal Brand – LinkedIn
