National Career Readiness Certificate
ACT's National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC) is a portable credential that demonstrates achievement and a certain level of workplace employability skills in Applied Mathematics, and Locating Information, and Reading for Information. In the future, ACT Career Credentials powered by ACT WorkKeys is an expanding program that will offer certifications in other areas.
Individuals can earn the NCRC by taking three WorkKeys® assessments:
- Applied Math
- Graphic Literacy
- Workplace Documents
WorkKeys assessments measure "real world" skills that employers believe are critical to job success. Test questions are based on situations in the everyday work world.
