Career Readiness/Human Resource Development

Career Readiness Certification (CRC)

Brunswick Community College’s Career Readiness Certification (CRC) is designed to meet the needs of employers and job seekers. The CTC is based upon WorkKeys, a nationally recognized skills assessment tool developed by ACT, Inc. For employers, the CRC offers a reliable means of determining whether an employee has the necessary literacy, numeracy, and problem solving skills to be “job ready.” For job seekers the CRC serves as a portable credential that can be more meaningful to employers than a high school diploma or a resume citing experience in a different job setting.
