Rapid shifts in global economies, heightened by the pandemic, have 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 (ESP) team spent the past decade leading the successful New World of Work (NWoW) program, based on a curriculum and training process where learners earn digital badge credentials employers actually value. ESP is now collaborating with workforce development organizations, employers, veteran serving organizations, and international partners to provide free soft skills video training lessons, customized content with mentoring/coaching, and train-the-trainer sessions to support ongoing behavior change. Our partners provide input for the creation of soft skills content valued by employers and useful for adult learners, job seekers, and employees. This collaborative approach builds an empowered, educated workforce and makes economic mobility possible for those who need it most! Visit us at: www.essential-skills.org
