Wolves Ready for Work is a self-paced, asynchronous, non-credit course housed in CourseDen. The original course takes approximately 1–2 hours to complete and uses quizzes and discussion posts to reinforce key concepts and assess students’ understanding of the material.

Wolves Ready for Work: Applied builds on the original course by asking students to reflect on and apply foundational career readiness skills within an existing professional or experiential learning opportunity. Rather than introducing new concepts, the Applied course emphasizes practical application and reflection.

Upon successful completion, students receive a certificate recognizing their participation in the career readiness experience.
