Workforce Development and External Testing
Athens Technical College administers the ACT National Career Readiness Certificate. The NCRC is a portable credential that demonstrates achievement and a certain level of workplace employability skills. Individuals can earn the certificate by taking three WorkKeys® assessments:
- Applied mathematics
- Locating information
- Reading for information
WorkKeys® assessments measure "real world" skills that employers believe are critical to job success. Test questions are based on situations in the everyday work world.
Athens Technical College offers NCRC assessments at its Athens, Elbert, and Walton Campuses, as well as in Hart County. For more information, please review the information sheet or call (706) 369-5763.
