BEC Work Ready Programme
For some time the Bermuda Employers’ Council has been concerned that our young people have been entering the workforce lacking some of the basic skills necessary for the transition into the world of work.
While Government is implementing many initiatives to deal with workforce development, and individual employers have development programs in place, the BEC believes that collectively the employer community can do more to help. As a result we have developed a pilot program called Work Ready. It fits well with our philosophy that it is better to do something pro actively to help our young people improve their employability rather than simply complain about a lack of skills.
The programme content focuses on areas not taught in school but important at work. Writing resumes, interviewing, business dress, interpersonal actions and reactions, personal behavior, business writing, e-mail etiquette and customer service perspectives are among the many topics covered.
