Career Readiness Certificate
The Career Readiness Certificate (CRC) is a portable skills credential that gives employers and career seekers a uniform, standard, objective measure of key workplace skills. It CERTIFIES that a person has workplace skills that are transferrable between industry sectors and across jobs within a sector. The CRC is issued at three levels: Bronze, Silver, and Gold, and in some states, a Platinum level is also available. The CRC is being used by job seekers across the country as an employment credential, and by employers as an assessment of a person's trainability for a job or for a promotion within the company. The CRC is based on three WorkKeys™ assessments: Applied Mathematics, Locating Information, and Reading for Information. For CRC information for your location, get in touch with the person listed as your CRC representative on the Contact Information page.
