The Alabama Career Readiness Certificate (CRC) is an assessment-based credential issued by the Alabama Department of Workforce Development. The CRC serves to validate that an individual has certain skills that are essential across a range of jobs in the workplace. The Gold, Silver, or Bronze Career Readiness Certificate may be awarded to eligible students or individuals who score at certain levels on three ACT WorkKeys assessments – Applied Mathematics, Reading for Information, and Locating Information. This certificate is based on the ACT WorkKeys Assessment system, a highly recognized system that measures “real world” skills that employers believe are critical to job success. Let employers know that you have the skills they need by earning your Alabama Career Readiness Certificate.
