National Career Readiness Certificate Online Preparation Class
North Carolina’s Career Readiness Certificate (CRC) is designed to meet the needs of both employers and job seekers in this transitioning economy.
Since North Carolina began offering career readiness certification, employers have reported a decrease in the time it takes to recruit and train employees. Surveys of employees have also found that employees are more satisfied. The CRC is a reliable means of determining whether a potential employee has the necessary literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving skills to be career-ready.
With a Career Readiness Certificate, employees can enhance their skills with an employer-recognized credential that often helps build confidence and opens doors for employment and promotion. The CRC is based upon WorkKeys®, a nationally recognized skills assessment tool developed by ACT Inc.
