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.
