Being career-ready means to have mental preparedness in your professional field of work. For examples, career readiness can be shown through proper research of your potential fields and options. Career readiness also means to pertain certain skills that will make you stand out from the other applicants.


WLG has helped me understand the fundamental of career readiness as it shows me what I need to focus on. Through WLG, I was able to learn about leadership values and self worth values. College wise, I've learned about the importance of sportsmen ship and teamwork values. I hope that WLG provides me further instructions in the second half.


A life skill I would like to learn in the future is…
