Governor’s Work Ethic Certificate

GWEC

Seniors at Central Nine Career Center have the opportunity to opt-in to the Governor’s Work Ethic Certificate program. This is a state-wide initiative that allows seniors to learn and demonstrate employability skills and the IMPACT traits during their last year of high school.

Benefits

Employers may provide incentives to students who receive the Work Ethic Certificate, such as a guaranteed job interview or mentoring opportunities. Students who receive the Work Ethic Certificate will receive a certificate signed by the Indiana State Governor, a teal cord to wear at graduation, and recognition at our awards ceremony in May.

Seniors will be given the opportunity to opt into the program at the beginning of each school year.
