WIN Learning’s career readiness curriculum and assessments prepare learners to be career ready in
both academic and soft skills.
WIN Ready to Work is a workforce education and development assessment tool, comprised of three
proctored assessments, Applied Mathematics, Reading for Information, and Locating Information,
leading to a work ready credential. It brings employers, learners/job-seekers, and education/workforce
partners together in building a skilled workforce, while keeping and attracting businesses with higher-
wage jobs.
The WIN Essential Soft Skills assessment is composed of questions measuring entry-level work tasks
and behaviors, including cooperate with others, resolve conflict and negotiate, solve problems and make
decisions, observe critically, and take responsibility for learning. The assessment questions require the
learner to choose two answers; the “best” and “worst” answers for handling each situation, providing a
deeper understanding of the essential soft skills. Visit www.winlearning.com to learn more about our
career readiness solutions.
