Career Pathways are a special blend of training and job progression. When the training includes postsecondary learning, the ACT WorkKeys National Career Readiness Certificate from ACT can translate to college credit that jump-starts the learning journey. Awarding credit through Prior Learning Assessment, or PLA for short, boosts confidence and increases the pace to program completion. Colleges increase enrollment while helping build the regional talent pipeline.
The American Council of Education recently upgraded their recommendations on credit hours awarded for the NCRC. Join us on Episode 37 as we explore the benefits of PLA; make connections between WorkKeys levels and postsecondary performance; and examine how administrators and faculty can use ACT WorkKeys Estimator to align their competencies to specific WorkKeys benchmarks.
