Flores Olmedo, Norma 1. For me, to be career ready means to be prepared for any unforeseen situations and making the most out of it. To be in a positive mindset and strive to do your best in everything. To be prepared for the future.

2. This WLG experience has helped me become both college and career ready by helping me learn more about myself and the type of person I am and can be when working with others, especially in a workplace environment/setting.

-To me, being career-ready is being aware of all of the various professional paths. It is also important to understand how you might be able to pursue that job. You prepare by obtaining the necessary skills and information to discover, acquire, keep, and succeed in a certain job/career.

  1. to be career ready is to have knowlegde on your task in the work force, to be in a good state mentally to do so and just be properly prepared to work.

  2. wlg has helped me find what works how to manage time and how to keep myself steady mentally

  3. in life i want to be able to work better within myself. I think being good and having that time to fix yourself helps yourself and could better your relationships with others
