WHAT IS WORK READY?
Certified work ready is “Georgia’s transformational economic development strategy” created to ensure that workers in Georgia have the best skills, easy access to training and world-class job opportunities.
Wild Adventures has taken part in the worker certification program, a key element that is considered the backbone of this initiative. The worker certification program will assess real world skills and provide valuable job training to applicants and returning team members in the following positions: Ride Operator, Food Team Lead, and Ride Maintenance Technician.
