STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD
Each day employers receive stacks of applications for only a handful of open positions. With the National Career Readiness Certificate, issued by ACT, you can prove you have the skills for the job. The Certificate is the work-related skills credential. Whether you're looking for a job or want to enhance your diploma or resume, The Certificate provides proof of your job skills for employers nationwide.
Why do I need the National Career Readiness Certificate?
The Certificate is designed to complement other traditional credentials, such as a high school diploma, community college degree, or college degree. While these education credentials mark the fulfillment of your classroom learning experiences, The Certificate proves you have the workplace skills needed to succeed at your new job. The Certificate offers individuals, employers, and educators an easily understood and nationally valued credential certifying essential workplace skills.
Employers across all businesses and industries are looking for a reliable way to measure foundational skills to ensure they are hiring the most qualified candidates. Traditional credentials, like a high school diploma or college degree, while important, are only a part of the picture and may not give a complete indicator of workers' job skills. This is why employers around the country are asking for the National Career Readiness Certificate when hiring and promoting.
Come prepared for your next job interview. Proudly display your "real world" skills by showing your National Career Readiness Certificate.
