What is Florida Ready to Work (FR2W)?
• Florida Ready to Work is a workforce education and development tool. It brings employers, student/jobseekers and education/workforce partners together in building a skilled workforce, keeping and attracting businesses with high-wage jobs to Florida, and growing Florida’s economy.
What is Florida Ready to Work (FR2W)?
• To earn the credential, a jobseeker must take three Assessments – Applied Mathematics, Reading for Information and Locating Information. These Assessments are different than most others; they test the work skills required for more than 85 percent of all jobs today.
• Applied Mathematics — Measures workplace mathematical reasoning and problem-solving skills from basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to multiple math functions like calculating percentage discounts and markups.
• Reading for Information — Measures reading comprehension and reasoning skills when using written text on the job including memos, letters, directions, signs, notices, bulletins, policies and regulations.
• Locating Information — Measures comprehension and application of workplace graphics such as charts, graphs, tables, forms, flowcharts, diagrams, floor plans, maps and instrument gauges.
FR2W and CareerSource Broward (CSBD)
• CSBD is a participating assessment center
• In addition to our role as an assessment center, CSBD has earned almost $15,000 in unrestricted funds for securing employer endorsements of FR2W
Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) FR2W Initiative
• In late 2014, DCF approached CSBD about providing assessments to applicants they were considering for hire
• Since November 2014, CSBD has assessed 232 DCF applicants resulting in 62 hires
Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) FR2W Initiative
“Since we began using CareerSource in November 2014; we have found your services very useful. We appreciate you and your agency for providing our applicants with an assessment testing their skills, prior to being offered an interview with the Department of Children and Families. This has helped us to select individuals that were successful in obtaining an overall score of 4 or above.
We look forward in continuing our partnership. Thank you for your assistance.”
