Governor's Work Ethic Certificate

Governor's Work Ethic Certificate (GWEC) at GCHS

What is the GWEC?
The development and adoption of the community and employer-recognized Governor’s Work Ethic Certificate (GWEC) is critical to providing a pipeline of skilled high school graduates for today’s workforce. The employability skills recognized in the GWEC have been vetted by Hoosier employers, community based organizations and post-secondary education institutions and are designed to encourage students to meet the benchmarks that will assist them in their college or career goals.
 
The program is structured to connect employers to their local school district through a College and Career Readiness Advisory Council, comprised of local educators and employers, establishing a fundamental, collaborative partnership for this program and continued alignment between the business community and our education system.
 
Students wishing to obtain the Governor’s Work Ethic Certificate (GWEC) will be measured in ten areas of academic and work ethic competency. More information will be given during their senior year of high school.  Six subjective measures will require the signatures of three teachers confirming that the student has met the requirements. Four additional objective competencies will be collect by a designated school liaison or the student management system to indicate competency in measurable areas.
