Employers

To create a Georgia Work Ready job profile, employers should contact the certified job profiler at their local technical college or the Governor's Office of Workforce Development's business development representative. The Work Ready job profile is created through a five-step process:

1. Creation of an initial task list: Companies provide their local profiler with a contact person to work with throughout the process, along with background information about the job to be profiled and a tour of the job site. The profiler then works with the company contact to develop a comprehensive task list for each job to be profiled.
2. Task analysis: The profiler meets with company subject matter experts (SMEs) - incumbent workers in the job being studied - who review and revise the list of job tasks to ensure the list accurately reflects the job.
3. Skill analysis: Profilers review Work Ready skills with SMEs, who then determine which skills are relevant to the job being profiled. The resulting skill list outlines those skills that are necessary for entry into the job and effective performance on the job. The task and skill analysis requires a time commitment of approximately eight to 10 hours by the SMEs.
4. Documentation: Finally, profilers document the results in a customized Job Profile Report, which contains a list of the tasks most critical to job performance and correlating information on the Work Ready skills and skill level requirements.
5. Hiring: Work Ready job profiles are EEO-compliant. Once the profile is completed, employers gain a valuable tool to start matching candidates to their job openings and ensure they have the best talent for the job.
