In an effort to address these challenges, Iowa Workforce Development and Iowa's Community Colleges have implemented Iowa's National Career Readiness Certificate.
The National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC) is a portable credential that demonstrates achievement and a certain level of workplace employability skills in Applied Mathematics, and Locating Information, and Reading for Information.
Individuals can earn the NCRC by taking three WorkKeys ® assessments:
- Applied Mathematics
- Locating Information
- Reading for Information
IKM-Manning High School is excited to have been set up by Iowa Workforce Development as a testing site for the Iowa NCRC and all seniors will be given the opportunity to earn their career readiness certificate.
