Being unemployed can be one of the most stressful events in life. You worry about paying your bills. Unexpected expenses can knock you to your knees. And you fight feelings of worthlessness every day. And to make matters worse, no matter how many applications you hand in or interviews you go to… it seems like no one wants to hire you. Fortunately, there is a program called the Cenla Work Ready Network that can help you identify your skills and prepare you for workplace success.

The Cenla Work Ready Network provides career seekers with the resources needed to improve their work-ready skills. The resources include Career Ready 101, the ACT WorkKeys Assessment, and the ACT WorkKeys National Career Readiness Certificate (ACT WorkKeys NCRC).
