WorkReady U is all about Jobs! As a symbol of the new vision, the Louisiana adult education program has been re-named "WorkReady U." The WorkReady U vision is built on the notion of recasting the expectations of our most important natural resource - our people. The WorkReady U mission is to prepare our students with the skills necessary to compete for family sustainable employment. The 600,000 working age adults in Louisiana without a high school credential need an opportunity to obtain the skills necessary to achieve a better life.
WorkReady U is all about Jobs! By placing the responsibility for adult education with the LCTCS, creating clear pathways into and through career and technical education programs that lead to life-sustaining jobs, Louisiana has radically changed its adult education delivery model and can now substantially increase the number of people who are part of the middle class. With a renewed set of expectations and a different culture, adult education in Louisiana is no longer just about obtaining your high school equivalency diploma, but acquiring the means to improved life circumstances resulting from gaining the skills that lead to a job providing a sustainable wage.

Data Detectives Facts: 3 categories % EFL gains % Assessed outside policy % Target Population met Tips: End of QTR 1 (July 1-Sept 30) 25% of school year has passed Burning questions: How much error can we live with? Is it a data entry error or misunderstanding of policy? When is our biggest enrollment rush? Are they open in the summer?
