An Arkansas Career Readiness Certificate (CRC) is a portable credential based upon the WorkKeys® assessments that demonstrates to employers that an individual possesses the basic workplace skills required for 21st century jobs.  Getting a CRC will allow an individual to show prospective employers that he or she possesses the basic skills they are looking for.

Even if a job seeker has a GED, high school diploma or post secondary degree, the Arkansas CRC further verifies that he/she can handle tasks such as finding information, reading instructions and directions, and working with numbers - that are commonly required in today's workplaces.

Arkansas two-year colleges are proud to partner with the Department of Workforce Services to administer WorkKeys® assessments.  All 22 colleges serve as WorkKeys®/CRC assessment sites.
