The National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC)
The ACT National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC) demonstrates career readiness.
The ACT NCRC is a portable, evidence-based credential that certifies the essential skills for workplace success. Employers look for it from job candidates, whether they come directly from high school, work-based learning programs, or through postsecondary paths because it is a valid predictor of job performance.
In addition, students pursuing a postsecondary education are eligible for college credit because the ACT NCRC demonstrates college-level competency.
