By participating in ACT’s Work Ready Communities initiative, Gregg County is helping:

• Business and industry understand the skills needed for a productive workforce – and to easily communicate their needs http://workreadycommunities.org/index/employers
• Individuals understand what skills are required by employers – and how to prepare themselves for success http://www.act.org/products/workforce-act-workkeys/
• Policy makers consistently measure the skills gap in a timely manner at the national, state and local levels
• Educators close the skills gap, via tools integrated into career pathways with stackable industry-recognized credentials http://www.act.org/products/workforce-act-workkeys/
• Economic developers use an on-demand reporting tool to market the quality of their workforce
