The Bennington Banner reports that this fall, a new, free program will be offered in Bennington and other parts of the state "to anyone unemployed or underemployed and looking to further their career skills." Sponsored by the Community College of Vermont and the Vermont Department of Labor, those who complete the program will receieve a "Career Readiness Certificate." Indeed, the program presents "an opportunity [for individuals] to measure and improve their job skills" and will be made up of six modules: "applied mathematics; reading for information; locating information; teamwork and interpersonal skills; work ethic, learning and life skills; and basic computer skills."
