What can I do with my WorkKeys Career Readiness Certificate?

If you have taken the WorkKeys assessments in the Central Pennsylvania, you were issued a Central Pennsylvania CRC and, as of February 2010, the National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC). Both are valuable tools to help you stand out to employers. Here are a few ways you can showcase the certificates on your resume.

• Make several copies of your CRC to attach to resumes and applications.
• Because of the special paper of the NCRC, photocopies cannot be made. However you can add this information to your resume for employers to recognize. Showcase your WorkKeys on your resume.

Each NCRC is numbered and can be verified on ACT’s database of certificate recipients. Employers can go to http://www.act.org/certificate/verify.html and enter your certificate number to verify.
