Tift County Urged to Become Work Ready - MTC at the helm
TIFTON — If 54 more Tift County people who work in the private sector will take the Work Ready Assessment in the next two weeks, Tift County will become a Certified Work Ready Community. Those who do take the assessment will receive a gift card for $50 worth of gas.
The nine-county region includes Tift, Berrien, Brooks, Colquitt, Cook, Echols, Lanier, Lowndes and Worth counties. Lanier and Berrien will be certified as Work Ready communities next month. When Tift and Colquitt counties become certified, the region will become the first in Georgia to have all counties certified.
“Georgia is leading the pack with the number of people certified,” said Norman Bennett, project manager for Bioscience Technology Circle of South Georgia at Wiregrass Technical College in Valdosta.
The assessment, which is not a pass or fail test, takes approximately 45 minutes to complete. It will be offered at no cost at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday and 5:30 p.m. Thursday at Moultrie Technical College’s Tifton Campus.
