What is certification of job readiness?

The certification of job readiness is a determination that applicants with disabilities are likely to succeed in the performance of the duties of the position he or she is seeking. Certification of job readiness is required for appointments of persons with intellectual disabilities, severe physical disabilities, or psychiatric disabilities unless the hiring agency appoints the individual to a temporary appointment in lieu of the job readiness certification. The same entities who may provide proof of disability may also certify an individual's job readiness.
