Are you trying to stand out among hundreds of applications to gain an interview? The Career Readiness Certificate (CRC) is allowing job seekers to do just that!
The CRC is a clear standardized tool to assess the competencies of potential and current employees in the workplace skills areas of:
- Reading for Information
- Applied Mathematics
- Locating Information
The certificate levels indicate readiness for job success as:
- BRONZE signifies that a recipient possesses skills that support success for 30% of likely jobs.
- SILVER signifies the recipient possesses skills for 65% of jobs.
- GOLD signifies the recipient possesses skills for 90% of jobs.
The assessments are based on job profiles identifying the basic employability skills for over 17,500 jobs. Skill-gap training is also available to assist individuals to improve their award levels.
The Governor-endorsed CRC is supported by the Virginia Workforce Council, Chamber of Commerce, AFL-CIO, the Virginia Manufacturers Association and many Virginia businesses.
