The pandemic has drastically altered the workplace. Individuals have to quickly adapt to find new employment or transition to remote work. Soft skills programs with measurable outcomes designed to serve broad populations are needed now more than ever. The Essential Skills Program team has spent the past decade leading a successful curriculum and training process where learners earn digital badge credentials employers actually value. We provide free lessons, customized content, and train-the-trainer sessions to support behavior change. Our partners provide input for the creation of soft skills content useful for learners and valued by employers. This collaborative approach builds an empowered, educated workforce and makes economic mobility possible for those who need it most.
