Kansas WorkReady Certificate – Free at your local Workforce Center
The Kansas WORKReady! initiative was launched by the Kansas Department of Commerce to improve the job training and marketability of Kansas’ workforce and drive future economic growth for the state. This workforce development initiative assesses the “real world” skills of Kansas’ workers, provides valuable job training and helps companies reliably match the right people with the right jobs.
Obtaining a WORKReady! Certificate is free and easy. Once an individual has made the decision to pursue a WORKReady! Certificate, there are three simple steps to complete the process: 1. Visit KANSASWORKS.com and identify a convenient location to complete the free assessment. Assessments are offered through the state’s 26 workforce centers across Kansas. 2. Contact your local workforce center to schedule your assessment. There are three components to the WORKReady! Certificate and each assessment takes approximately 50 minutes for a total time of about three hours plus registration. 3. Present the WORKReady! Certificate to potential employers to demonstrate you are “WORKReady!”
Attached is a two-page overview that provides more detail on the Kansas WORKReady certificates.

Workshops will use found and recycled materials, in addition to traditional materials like paint, clay and paper. Materials provided by Accessible Arts.
Participants will break for a half-hour snack time in the morning and a half-hour lunch break in the afternoon. Parents are asked to provide an age-appropriate snack and lunch for their child. Westport Center for the Arts will provide the beverages.

With a certification in child-care and child development, Morgan enjoys sharing his talent in art and design with children of all ages, races, and economic backgrounds. He has contributed to the arts educational programs at the Boys and Girls Club, the YMCA and YWCA, and the Bruce R.
