“I think the Work Ready certification demonstrated something we here in the Golden Triangle are particularly good at: Teamwork around an initiative,” noted Macaulay Whitaker, COO. “We had to have everybody involved to make it work: The LINK, EMCC, community leaders, county and city government and the high schools.

Teachers and administrators in the Columbus, Lowndes County, and the Starkville-Oktibbeha school districts shared their passion for student success through WorkKeys with The Dispatch newspaper.
Columbus Municipal School District Superintendent Cherie Labat said emphasizing workforce readiness skills is becoming as important, if not more important, than pushing the ACT in a district where many students will not attend a four-year college after graduation.
