Florida Ready to Work is a new employee credentialing program that tests – and scores – job skills and work habits. It gives job seekers a competitive edge – a Credential that proves to employers that they have the right skills and the right attitude for the job. For employers, it takes the guesswork out of hiring, saving time and money. Florida Ready to Work is sponsored by the state of Florida, so there is no cost for employers or job seekers to participate in the program.

The Florida Ready to Work program is supported by the Florida Chamber of Commerce, Associated Industries of Florida, HR Florida State council, Employ Florida and Manufacturers Association of Florida.
