About Be Ready
Preparing Employees for Lifelong Career Success
To strengthen the workforce, better serve clients and give back to the community, NorthGate launched Be Ready Employee Enrichment Services in 2018. Be Ready is designed to help individuals overcome barriers to success and take them from unemployment to employment and meaningful lifelong careers.
NorthGate founder Jack Goggins’ business philosophy was summarized in his favorite expression, “Be Ready.” This phrase inspired the name of Be Ready Enrichment Services, as a fitting tribute to Mr. Goggins’ legacy and the entire organization’s commitment to employees and the community.
NorthGate’s mission to Bless People, Be Prosperous and Be the Best could not happen without a commitment to employees. The NorthGate Enrichment Center (NEC) was built as the home base for NorthGate’s pioneering Be Ready Enrichment Services. While the NEC is the home base for this activity, these services take place throughout all three NorthGate locations.
Our Mission
Be Ready Enrichment Services is NorthGate’s tangible demonstration to our mission to Bless People. Rooted in the values that have shaped our company, Be Ready was created to provide meaningful support and opportunities for our employees. By offering resources, education, and assistance, we help individuals overcome challenges and build a foundation for long-term success. Through this initiative, NorthGate continues to invest in the well-being of our team, ensuring that every person has the support they need to thrive.
