Career Readiness Certificate (CRC)

Career Readiness Certificate (CRC) is a work credential that promotes skills and career development for individuals and verifies to employers anywhere in the United States that you possess basic workplace skills and employability skills in Applied Mathematics, Reading for Information, and Locating Information. North Carolina's CRC is based on the ACT WorkKeys system, an industry-driven system of profiling, assessment and instructional support. There are three levels of achievement- Bronze, Silver and Gold.
