Getting
a Career Readiness Certificate allows you to show prospective (and
current) employers that you possess the basic skills they are looking
for. Even if you have a high school diploma, GED, or a post-secondary
degree, the CRC further verifies that you can handle the kinds of tasks
- finding information, reading instructions and
directions, and working with figures
- that are common in today's workplace.
If improvement is needed in specific areas, the
Career Ready Alabama program will help fill your skills gaps. For more
information, please visit or call your nearest
One Stop Career Center,
WorkKeys Testing Center,
or Adult Education Program.
For more information, watch a 3 minute
DVD. (You will need
Windows Media Player).
James Flowers, the 1st recipient of an Alabama
Career Readiness Certificate, had this to say. "The CRC was a good
thing to show employers when I was applying for jobs. Because the skills
are identified on the
back of the certificate, it lets employers know my
'level of intelligence'. It gives them a description of what I can do.
It actually helped me get two jobs. The first job was with the
Wal-Mart
Distribution
Center. I had to quit that job due to a leg injury. Now I have a job
with Lee County Solid Waste as a mechanic. I definitely think that
having the CRC helped me get these jobs."
