Indiana DWD partners with WIN Learning to measure and earn the credential employers recognize and value most in today's workforce.

While professional attitudes and work habits are essential for the 21st century economy, they are often overlooked in educational programs. WIN Learning's Essential Soft Skills Credential helps learners develop and demonstrate the foundational workplace attitudes and behaviors that are critical to career and life success. The WIN Career Readiness System is a comprehensive approach to preparing  emerging and reemerging jobseekers for success while providing future employers with workplace-ready candidates.

Essential Soft Skills Assessment and Credential 


The Essential Soft Skills Assessment is scored as Pass or Not Passed based on the total questions answered correctly. Each question is a workplace-based scenario where participants select the "best" and "worst" way to handle a specific situation to demonstrate mastery of appropriate behaviors and attitudes employers look for most when making hiring and retention decisions. 

The attitudinal and behavioral skills measured on the Essential Soft Skills Assessment are Communicating Effectively, Conveying Professionalism, Promoting Teamwork and Collaboration, and Thinking Critically and Solving Problems. Participants need to earn a scale score of 203 or greater on the Essential Soft Skills Assessment to earn the Essential Soft Skills Credential.
