KCTCS promotes Work Ready Program

Higher education officials promoted in-demand career training during a media event Tuesday morning. The state’s work ready program, available at all 16 KCTCS campuses, has seen a surge in promotion the past several months, likely due in part to the state’s unemployment numbers amidst COVID-19

Chief Student Affairs Officer Dale Buckles says that, despite the success of the program, students are sometimes still unaware of the opportunities from the program. More information on the program can be found on the ECTC website.
