The Career Readiness Certification

The National Career Readiness Certificate is an essential tool and marketable credential that offers individuals and employers the opportunity to certify essential workplace skills.  Upon successful completion, individuals receive Platinum, Gold, Silver or Bronze Certificates according to their skill levels.  With the Career Readiness Certificate, individuals prove they have the skills needed to successfully enter the workforce.

North Carolina benefits from potential employees holding a Career Readiness Certificate (CRC)  to help build a strong workforce by bridging the skills gap and to provide an economic development tool with the CRC database proving the skill level of the workforce.

The Certificate benefits employers by increasing their bottom lines through skilled employees; reduction of turnover, overtime, waste, and training time; increase in productivity, and possible employee promotion through performance.  The CRC is a benefit to individuals receiving it through increased confidence, improved skills and better preparation for training, promotion and additional responsibilities.
