WpLRC NEWS

In partnership with the Contra Costa and Alameda County One-Stop Career Centers, the WpLRC is currently piloting a Career Readiness Certificate (CRC) to explore the long-term viability and applicability of a CRC for businesses and organizations in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties.

The Career Readiness Certificate is a work skills certificate program utilizing WorkKeys (ACT, Inc.).  The assessment measures skills in 3 critical areas: Reading for Information, Locating for Information, and Applied Mathematics.  Participants awarded a certificate can demonstrate competencies in the 3 areas to prospective employers.  Business and industry can consider these certificates as a further demonstration of a prospective employee’s command of basic skills.
