What it Means to Be Career Ready: 12
A career-ready person effectively navigates pathways that connect
education and employment to achieve a fulfilling, financially-secure and
successful career.
A career is more than just a job. Career readiness has no defined
endpoint.
To be career ready in our ever-changing global economy requires
adaptability and a commitment to lifelong learning, along with mastery of
key knowledge, skills and dispositions that vary from one career to
another and change over time as a person progresses along a
developmental continuum.
