Career Readiness Certificates

The ACT National Career Readiness Certificate is a portable, evidence-based credential that certifies the essential skills for workplace success. All Arkansas Career Readiness Certificates are recorded in ACT’s national RegiSTAR™ database, and this validates your certificate no matter in what state you seek employment.

Why earn your Career Readiness Certificate? It indicates that you have the skills necessary to succeed in the workplace. Employers look for it from 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.

A Career Readiness Certificate is earned by completing the three WorkKeys® Assessments: Applied Math, Workplace Documents, and Graphic Literacy. The first step toward earning a Career Readiness Certificate is to take the WorkKeys Curriculum® which will determine if you are ready to take the WorkKeys® Assessments. Ask your local Arkansas Workforce Center about taking the WorkKeys Curriculum® to get started!
