About You're H.I.R.E.D! Solutions
YOU'RE H.I.R.E.D! Solutions is a workforce development organization focused on preparing individuals for success in school, work, and life through competency-based instruction, evaluation, coaching, and professional development systems.
We believe workforce readiness is bigger than employability checklists or technical training alone. Long-term success depends on the professional competencies individuals develop — how they communicate, adapt, collaborate, solve problems, and show up consistently in real-world environments.
That's why we partner with schools, employers, and workforce leaders to create practical systems that intentionally develop these critical workplace behaviors from the classroom and beyond.
The H.I.R.E.D Framework
Five foundational competencies
Our workforce development framework centers around five foundational competencies employers consistently identify as essential:
HEART
Displaying a positive attitude in interactions with coworkers and customers. Maintaining a professional and respectful demeanor while handling workplace challenges with patience and a problem-solving mindset.
INNOVATION
Demonstrating a willingness to learn by handling feedback constructively, applying critical thinking and creativity to solve problems, staying motivated through setbacks, and adapting to new tasks, environments, or expectations.
RESPONSIBILITY
Building the foundation of a solid work ethic by being dependable, taking responsibility for tasks, and completing assignments with effort and attention to quality. Showing initiative and a willingness to improve skills.
EXCELLENCE
Maintaining the character of reliability in the workplace by showing up on time and prepared, managing schedules effectively, meeting deadlines, and prioritizing tasks with organization and efficiency.
DETERMINATION
Committing to teamwork by cooperating and communicating effectively, respecting different opinions, and working toward shared goals. Understanding and fulfilling assigned roles within a group.
Our Vision
We envision communities where workforce readiness is intentionally developed long before a job interview, and continuously reinforced throughout education, employment, and leadership growth.
