Career Readiness Studio / Sectors
Get BADGED — job readiness instruction & assessment to evidence a level of proficiency.
Usually fifteen to twenty hours alongside your technical training, built from what the occupations in a sector actually demand.
Every module, item, and rubric anchor below is generated from the sector's own competency statements — 1,016 occupation records, leveled Emerging through Advanced. The assessment returns one readiness call for entry-level roles, ten durable-skill levels, and six AI-at-work levels. Bring a signed record and it takes less; if the evidence sits on the line, it takes more.
