Preparing the workforce of TOMORROW with TODAY’S ESSENTIAL SKILLS

WrightNow Solutions prepares people for long-term success as their professional goals and employment opportunities evolve over time. As technology accelerates, soft skills are increasingly in high demand to fuel people and business growth. In this digital era, the Technical or “Hard Skills” are acquired through various methods, however the Soft Skills (the Harder Skills) are extremely important for professionals at all levels as they progress towards and advance throughout corporate careers

WrightNow Solutions works with organizations and higher education institutions leveraging our core Life and Career Readiness curriculum to help catapult participants to their next level of success. We are also known for guiding people to thrive and advance in their career with our Corporate Readiness curriculum. While we have core curriculum, we take a collaborative approach to customize our professional development offerings to fit the needs of our client

While Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) have always been core to our mission and vision, we are encouraged that this is becoming an increasingly valued part of the workplace conversation. At WrightNow Solutions, we are intentional about building individual and organizational competencies to support a foundation for shifting the corporate culture and enabling the best environment of Belonging. We believe true change happens with experiential DEI learning that will further existing relationships and forge new ones across all populations. This does not happen in a single training session or workshop but rather through customized experiences.  Let us build that Belonging Experience for your company.

CASE STUDY

BUSINESS NEED:

The Clayton County Schools Career, Technical and Agricultural Education Program offers a curriculum across 36 different career paths leveraging people formally in those industries as educators to help bridge the connection between the students and the industry professionals. The charge was to enhance the perception of these 150 educators, empowering them to be influential industry experts and inspirational role models.

SOLUTION:

WrightNow Solutions facilitated one of its signature training classes, The It Factor: Showing up with Confidence, Presence, and Credibility, for their Professional Development day. This training class provides actionable steps on enhancing your leadership qualities while focusing on your in-person and digital presence.

OUTCOME:

The educators implemented new methods of being relatable and impactful with the students. They have created or improved their digital interaction motivating businesses to engage with their students based on a plan we provided in the class. Businesses and students are gravitating to these educators.

*** This same training class has been delivered to leaders from many Fortune 500 companies to increase employees’ promotability, influence, and executive presence.​

“WrightNow Solutions disrupted the way we traditionally deliver our professional development days and truly gave our educators practical applications to "be greater”. Our educators have implemented methods from their workshop to provide the ultimate classroom to career experience for our students. We are also confident our educators now have “The It Factor” needed to boost our business relationship with industry leaders.”
