Career Readiness Credential for Employers

What can the CRC do for my business?
The gap between the skills required for most jobs and the skills of the workforce is having a significant impact on productivity and revenue across all businesses and industries.  Employers need reliable ways to measure foundational skills to ensure they are hiring the most qualified, trainable candidates.

RochesterWorks! offers the WorkKeys® assessment system to assist local businesses with:

  • Screening & Selection
  • Succession Planning
  • Benchmarking Skills

WorkKeys is the leading job skills assessment system in the nation, measuring “real world” foundational skills that are critical to job success.  These skills are valuable for any occupation-skilled or professional-and at any level of education. 

What is the Career Readiness Credential (CRC)?
The CRC is a portable credential that verifies to employers that a candidate is ready to learn quickly, solve problems, and come up to speed on new challenges.  The CRC is multi-level and uses the three WorkKeys assessments,  Applied Mathematics, Reading for Information, and Locating Information, that employers across the country have identified as most critical to success. 

This multi-level credential is useful in comparing the needs of a job to the skills and abilities of the applicant.  By having the CRC included in job postings, employers can save time and money in their screening and selection process and reduce turnover costs by tapping into the most qualified labor pool in the area. 
 
 
Bronze level signifies that a recipient possesses skills for approximately 30% of the jobs profiled by WorkKeys in these three specific skill areas.   Silver signifies that a recipient possesses skills for approximately 65% of jobs profiled by WorkKeys in these areas.   Gold signifies that a recipient possesses skills for 85% of jobs profiled by WorkKeys in the three areas.
