The goal of this program is to help students get the support needed to start and finish a certificate focused on fast employment w Colorado’s workforce. WorkReady helps students get training for Colorado’s top industries, such as IT, Healthcare, and Manufacturing. Students who were economically impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic are eligible to receive access to educational opportunities, financial support, and career guidance while earning an employable credential that aligns with one of Colorado's Top Jobs.
This program is funded by the Back to Work Grant awarded to the Colorado Department of Higher Education through its Colorado Opportunity Scholarship Initiative (COSI) Community Partner Program. Program partners are Denver County Workforce and CCD Foundation.
COSI Workready supported more than 200 students to receive over 289 short-term credentials at CCD and get back into the workforce! Credentials included Early Childhood education, computer science, bookkeeping, various health sciences, and Welding, just to name a few. Students received more than $300,000 to help them get ready to restart their careers after economic hardships due to the pandemic.
