Unlock Potential, Bridge Gaps, and
Build Futures

WebStudy Foundation (WSF) is sponsoring a campaign to fund the collaboration needed across organizations throughout southeastern Louisiana to expand the National Career Readiness Certificate

Uplift Public High School Students in Southeast Louisiana to Bridge the Skills Gap

Let’s close the gap in NCRC certificate recipients in the southeastern parishes  compared to the successful implementation seen throughout numerous parishes in Louisiana. 

Together we can give public high schoolers the bridge to internships, and apprenticeship programs to community colleges, the workforce, and a broader work-ready community.

Invest in financially supporting a collaborative convening of educators, employers and community agencies – entities that rarely have time to synchronize their programs – to collaborate.

Collaboration across the southeastern portion of Louisiana will bridge the critical gap between education and employment

About WSF

WebStudy Foundation (WSF) is a nonprofit solution shop that designs large-group engagement services to organizations that want to network with others with similar goals.              

Our focus is to accelerate initiatives aimed at closing the labor force participation gap by engaging multiple stakeholders to interact in a virtual setting to innovate together.                                                  

ACT Work Ready Communities (WRC) empower states, regions and counties with data, processes and tools that drive economic growth. Participants are leveraging the ACT® WorkKeys® National Career Readiness Certificate® (NCRC®) to measure and close the skills gap — and building common frameworks that link, align and match their workforce development efforts.

EDUCATION

EMPLOYMENT

Regional communities are made up of millions of people being served by educational providers, businesses and government with no single communication network. Action plans to implement system change presents a formidable communication challenge.


WebStudy Foundation designs and facilitates collaborative convenings for multiple organizations to network virtually to synchronize their programs that provide learners with the support and opportunities they need to thrive, ultimately creating a brighter future for individuals and communities alike.

Convening Benefits:

  1. Empower students with career clarity for a lifetime of learning.
  2. Underserved learners gain access to resources, mentorship, and networks that promote equity and inclusion.
  3. Supporting career-connected learning bridges the gap between education and employment, which is a nationwide need.

Your tax-deductible donation will be used to fund our upcoming convening designed to accelerate multiple stakeholders from employment, the workforce community in ten parishes and educators from local high schools, regional community colleges and state public 4Y institutions working together.

This image illustrates the ACT® WorkKeys National Career Readiness Certificates earned at the county and state level and the progress being made by those participating states and counties in the ACT Work Ready Community initiative. This site only represents data stored in the ACT RegiSTAR™ system, a web-based reporting and management tool for ACT WorkKeys National Career Readiness Certificates.

State and national ACT WorkKeys NCRC data runs from January 2006 through April 30, 2022, while county-level data is starting from January 2012. State job profile data runs from January 2007 through April 30, 2022, while national job profile data reaches back to 1993. Again, please note that county-level ACT WorkKeys NCRC data collection began in January 2012 for WorkKeys Internet Version, and in July 2012 for pencil and paper assessments. State and national certificate totals include historical data prior to 2012.

WorkKeys® assessments are used across the nation, and many states have built their own Career Readiness Certificates based upon WorkKeys assessment results. You will find an asterisk denoting those states.
