National Career Readiness Certificate

Set yourself apart from other applicants! 

The National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC), helps individuals prove they possess the skills that employers deem essential. It’s a portable credential that helps job seekers and current employees improve their career outcome and succeed in a variety of career pathways. 

A NCRC is earned by completing the three WorkKeys Assessments:

• Applied Math
• Workplace Documents
• Graphic Literacy

Also available in Spanish:

• Evaluación de Matemáticas Aplicadas
• Evaluación de Localización de Información
• Evaluación de Comprensión de Lectura 

NCRC is awarded at four levels:

• Bronze
• Silver
• Gold
• Platinum

Each is an objective validation to employers anywhere in the U.S. that an individual has met or exceeded the necessary foundational skills for a percentage of the 16,000 occupations in the WorkKeys database. For example, a Gold certificate verifies that an individual has the necessary skills for 93% of occupations.

A NCRC credential will enable you to:

• Earn a transferable, transportable State and National credential.
• Enhance your resume and show perspective employers concrete proof of your skills.
• Improve your success in entry-level jobs.
• Enhance your chance for promotion.
