Professional Skills Academy

East Hartford Works! has offered a Professional Skills Academy for East Hartford residents at Goodwin University since 2019.  Local employers have communicated a need for a workforce that is better prepared with the basic skills needed to succeed in a workplace.  In 2018, East Hartford Works! partnered with Workforce Solutions on a project to invest in the preparedness of local job seekers, test strategies, and duplicate best practices in workforce readiness.  After soliciting vendors, they selected Goodwin College to offer a 46-hour course in career preparation training.  The curriculum focuses on twelve areas of general workplace competencies that has been identified in nation-wide research by Workforce Solutions.

Please contract us for more information at easthartfordworks@easthartfordct.gov. The next Professional Skills Academy will be offered in partnership with Goodwin University during the Spring Semester of 2023.
