Career Readiness Credential for Job Seekers
The Career Readiness Credential (CRC) enables you to show prospective employers that you possess the basic foundational skills they are looking for and have the trainability for success in an organization.
Even if you have a high school diploma (or GED) or a post-secondary degree, the CRC further verifies that you can handle the kinds of tasks – finding information, reading instructions and directions, even working with figures – that are common in today's workplace.
How does the Career Readiness Credential work?
Building on a Proven Program
The CRC is based on established WorkKeys® assessments, a nationally recognized system. To earn a CRC, individuals undergo testing related to reading, applied math, and locating information through the WorkKeys skills assessment system. The credential confirms a person’s competence in these skill areas and provides documentation to an employer of these workplace competencies.
A Chance to Advance
Individuals can earn three levels of Career Readiness Credentials based on their test performance in Applied Mathematics, Reading for Information, and Locating Information.
| 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. |
