“The National Career Readiness Certificate™ (NCRC®) is the skills credential that links job seekers to thousands of employers. The NCRC gives individuals proof that they possess the skills employers deem essential to workplace success. This improves career outcomes for everyone from people just entering the workforce to longtime employees—and it enhances employers’ hiring, training, and promotion decisions.”

New River Community College’s Office of Workforce Development partners with local businesses for the benefit of providing WorkKeys Assessments for current or prospective employees. NRCC also serves individuals through open enrollment sessions for those who want to take the assessment(s) for the first time or to re-take assessment(s). The following assessments are available:

• WorkKeys Assessments (Applied Math, Graphic Literacy AND Workplace Documents)
• Individual WorkKeys Assessments (Applied Math, Graphic Literacy OR Workplace Documents)
• Workplace Observation
• Applied Technology
