 Alabama
Career Readiness Certificate
The Alabama Career
Readiness Certificate (CRC) is an assessment-based credential based upon
ACT WorkKeys assessments. WorkKeys assessments are a job skills
assessment system measuring “real world” skills that employers believe
are critical to job success. The skills are valuable for any occupation
– skilled or professional – and at any level of education. The CRC is
based upon three WorkKeys assessments: Reading for Information, Applied
Mathematics, and Locating Information.
