Colorado Standards Postsecondary Workforce Readiness The concepts and skills that are a part of Colorado’s Postsecondary and Workforce Readiness (PWR) are woven throughout the standards.

Colorado Standards What Are Prepared Graduate Competencies? The preschool through twelfth- grade concepts and skills that all students who complete the Colorado education system must master to ensure their success in a postsecondary and workforce setting.
