Net Work Learning

A project of the Emerging Workforce Initiative, Net Work Learning is a series of work readiness courses and tools designed to prepare youth and young adults for a career pathway. The courses blend interactive online modules, team activities, hands-on projects and connections with professional mentors.

T
he Net Work approach:

  • Models a real workplace with hands-on activities and projects that engage learners;
  • Teaches skills that can be applied in any industry or workplace, and in life, such as problem solving, persistence, and team communications;
  • Makes learning available any time, any place, and at any pace to address different learner needs and interest;
  • Connects learners to a wide network of mentors, employers, and community resources that help learners develop new skills and enter a career pathway;
  • Evaluate the results with online tools that track participant progress, get immediate feedback on effectiveness, individualize learning, and increase communication. 

See Net Work Louisville for more information on this innovative approach.


Tools

The Initiative develops resources for schools and programs to use with young people preparing for the workforce. Some of these tools include:
  • Work Readiness Assessment - a comprehensive set of tests (computer-based and performance) for reviewing the knowledge, skills and beliefs needed to enter and succeed in the workplace.

  • Work Simulation Curriculum - instructor and student materials to develop work readiness skills through highly interactive and realistic activities.

  • Program Evaluation Framework - assessment tools to assist programs to identify and measure the impact of work readiness service.
