     ​National Career Readiness Certificate 

    • Definition

      • The ACT WorkKeys is a job skills assessment system measuring "real-world" skills that help employers select, hire, train, develop, and retain a high-performance workforce.
      • Earning the National Career Readiness Certificate does not qualify you for all job requirements. However, demonstrating higher job skills means you have access to higher-paying jobs and employers are willing to pay higher salaries for higher skill levels.
