Career Readiness Certification For more information, contact Sylvia Hinton-Grant, (252) 618-6611 grants@edgecombe.edu

North Carolina’s Career Readiness Certificate (CRC) is designed to meet the needs of both employers and job seekers in this transitioning economy. WorkKeys is a job skills assessment system measuring “real world” skills employers believe are critical to job success.

These skills are valuable for any occupation, skilled or professional, and at any level of education.

• For employers, the CRC offers a reliable means of determining whether a potential employee has the necessary literacy, numeracy and problem solving skills to be “job ready.”

• For job seekers, the CRC serves as a portable credential that can be more meaningful to employers than a high school degree or a resume citing experience in a different job setting.

• The CRC is based on WorkKeys, a nationally recognized, skills assessment tool developed by ACT Inc. WorkKeys Assessments measure the current skills of individuals in four key areas: 1. Reading for Information (testing time 55 minutes) EDGECOMBE COMMUNITY COLLEGE

The Reading for Information test measures the skill people use when they read and use written text in order to do a job. The written texts include memos, letters, directions, signs, notices, bulletins, policies, and regulations.

2. Applied Mathematics (testing time 55 minutes) The Applied Mathematics test measures the skills people use when they apply mathematical reasoning and problem-solving techniques to work-related problems. The test questions require the examinee to set up and solve the types of problems and do the types of calculations that actually occur in the workplace.

3. Locating Information (testing time 55 minutes) The Locating Information test measures the skill people use when they work with workplace graphics such as charts, graphs, tables, forms, flowcharts, diagrams, floor plans, maps, and instrument gauges.

4. Applied Technology (testing time 45 minutes) The Applied Technology test measures the skill people use when they solve problems with machines and equipment found in the workplace. This skill includes four areas of technology: electricity, mechanics, fluid dynamics, and thermodynamics.

Please check CRC testing dates on edgecombe.edu/ resources/crc/career-readiness-certificate-testingdates/, then register by way of email by sending your name, address, telephone number, and desired testing date to: Debra Glover, (252) 618-6617 gloverd@edgecombe.edu
