The Curriculum.New Skills, Same Quality and Alignment.
The Indiana DWD evolved their employability skills in 2019, connecting them to the Graduation Pathways Employability Skills Standards. EmployIndy has reviewed and enhanced the scope of the original JRI curriculum to better align with regional and State-wide efforts. The online JRI badges build off each other to craft a comprehensive foundation of self-awareness. The curriculum explores different aspects of individual perception, from personal strengths and skillsets to distinctive work styles and time management. JRI virtually guides participants in distinguishing their abilities and ambitions while also identifying areas in need of improvement, providing objective insight into the development of their professional selves. Check out the video below for a walkthrough of each of the skills included with the six JRI badges! Vertical Divider
