Through a partnership with the Texarkana USA Chamber of Commerce, Redwater High School has 22 students who have earned the ACT WorkKeys National Career Readiness Certification (NCRC) during the 2022-23 school year.
The ACT NCRC is a portable, evidence-based credential that certifies the essential skills for workplace success. Employers look for it with job candidates, whether they come directly from high school, work-based learning programs, or through postsecondary paths, because it is a valid predictor of job performance. The NCRC is the foundation of the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) stackable credential program. It is also a key component of credentialing programs in other industries, such as energy, construction, and information technology. Students on various career paths earn the ACT NCRC on their way to earning industry credentials and certifications.
“For the Texarkana area, there are over 100 businesses and organizations recognizing or recommending the ACT WorkKeys NCRC,” said Camille Powell, Program Manager for Workforce Development with the Texarkana USA Chamber of Commerce.
