November Meeting When: November 20th Topic: WorkKeys Credentials – the New Currency of Employment WorkKeys is a portable skills credential based on a common language, easily understood by employers, educators, and citizens. Learn about this ground-breaking program and how employers can utilize the program to gain a competitive advantage. Speaker: Jo Richter Jo Richter is a Program Manager with the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission. She is an Authorized Job Profiler for ACT and performs Job Analysis in Central and Southwest Oklahoma . Jo manages the Workforce Oklahoma office in Chickasha . Jo is passionate about WorkKeys and its’ potential. Jo led a team in Grady County that sought an endorsement from the Oklahoma Department of Commerce signifying that their community is “work ready”. The criteria is that 25% of the available workforce has a credential, 3% of the potential workforce has a credential, and the youth in our high school graduate at least 82% of those beginning the 9th grade, or 82% have a credential when leaving high school. Chickasha met this goal and was recently named the first work ready community in the state, and surprisingly enough though other states are attempting to get the same program off the ground, Chickasha is the first in the nation! Jo has a great partner, a close family, and four grandchildren who take much of her weekends. Jo has a bachelors degree in Psychology from the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma, and a Master’s degree in Human Relations from the University of Oklahoma . Jo is active in her community and mans the domestic violence hotline and serves on the rape response team in her county.
