How did Keys to Success become the college and career readiness tool backed by the state of Utah?During the 2019 legislative session, Utah Futures was moved under the direction of Talent Ready Utah beginning July 2020. The Talent Ready Utah board, staffed by the Talent Ready Utah Center, conducted a RFP to identify the provider of the state online career guidance platform. State purchasing oversaw the RFP process and Keys to Success was identified as the best fit to provide this option for the state.
