Who We Are :

ReadyCT is a statewide 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that works to advance academic excellence and career-connected learning for all public school students in Connecticut through collaboration with business, civic, and education leaders. ReadyCT accomplishes its mission by offering dynamic career readiness programming in school buildings that, with intention, bridges the gap between public education and the employers who will, ultimately, hire their future workforce from our public schools. Businesses continue to respond well to the programming; last year, over 230 Connecticut businesses of all sizes and across all sectors worked alongside ReadyCT to inform our programming efforts.

ReadyCT also maintains a presence in legislative circles, advocating for policies that (1) systematically improve Connecticut public education, with an emphasis on advancing access and equity, and (2) advance workforce shortage solutions (from a K-12 perspective) that aid in providing Connecticut employers with the talent they need to sustain and grow their businesses.

ReadyCT is an affiliate of CBIA, the CT Business & Industry Association, which is the largest, most representative business organization in the state. The affiliation is leveraged in support of all ReadyCT efforts.
