More than ever, an incoming worker—your graduate—needs ways to stand out from the crowd. Meanwhile, employers are looking for skilled workers who can not only perform the job but learn and grow as its requirements change.  \nENCOURAGE YOUR STUDENT TO EARN A CREDENTIAL THAT WILL GET THEM NOTICED AS THEY APPLY FOR JOBS.  \nThe ACT® WorkKeys® National Career Readiness Certificate®(NCRC®) certifies that recipients have the foundational skills needed for virtually any job, from blue collar to white collar positions.  \nMany educational institutions award WorkKeys NCRCs with diplomas, giving graduates proof of their work ready skills as they enter the workforce. WorkKeys NCRCs are recognized by nearly 28,000 employers nationwide in hiring and promoting skilled workers.  \nStudents who take WorkKeys may qualify for college credits, per recommendations by the American Council on Education (ACE)  \nStudents who earn the WorkKeys NCRC boost their resumes by adding a nationally recognized credential that can be easily shared online.  \nOn average, students who score higher on the WorkKeys Assessments and earn higher levels on the WorkKeys NCRC can expect short-and long-term increases in wages.  \nNearly 28,000 US employers request and accept ACT WorkKeys when hiring.  \nTEST THEIR SKILLS  \nStudents take three WorkKeys Assessments in the skills most employers deem important for productivity and trainability:  \nAPPLIED MATH  \nCritical thinking, mathematical reasoning, problem solving  \nGRAPHIC LITERACY  \nIdentifying and understanding important data in charts, graphs, diagrams, floor plans, etc.  \nWORKPLACE DOCUMENTS  \nReading and using business documents such as regulations, directions, policies, notices, etc.  \nAWARD CERTIFICATES  \nWorkKeys NCRCs are awarded based on WorkKeys scores.  \nGOLD 5  \nSILVER 4  \nBRONZE 3  \nCOMPARE SKILLS TO JOBS  \nStudents can compare their score levels to occupational profiles contained in the ACT® WorkKeys® JobPro database—an online job skills database with more than 21,000 careers profiled.  \nSHOW OFF THEIR SKILLS  \nStudents may opt in to claim their digital badge to further boost their employability on social channels and recruiting sites like ZipRecruiter, Indeed, and LinkedIn. WorkKeys NCRCs can also be presented during job interviews and verified online.  \nAt Eastman, we want good-paying jobs and rewarding career opportunities for everyone in our community. Engaging in ACT Work Ready Communities is enabling us to work with other businesses and community leaders to introduce students and residents to ACT WorkKeys and the WorkKeys NCRC and how it can help them take charge of their career decisions.  \n-Tanya Foreman | Education Initiatives Manager at Eastman in Kingsport, TN  \nHelp your student join more than 5 million emerging and current workforce professionals who have earned a WorkKeys NCRC and  \nfound workplace success.  \n© 2023 by ACT, Inc.
