On May 28, 24 students from Questar III’s Columbia Greene Educational Center received the (Business Employment Standards Transition (BEST) Certificate Award. The BEST program certifies the work readiness of students. When they apply for local employment or admission to college they can easily demonstrate that they have the skills, behaviors and knowledge necessary for the workplace and/or college.
Students were required to complete a portfolio in addition to 25 hours of community service.
The program is funded by the Department of Economic Development for Greene County and supported by the Columbia and Greene County Chambers of Commerce.
