In addition to relevant skills, employers seek employees who have the personal values, characteristics, and personality traits that spell success. Good personal values are the foundation for a good employee. This program offers an opportunity to learn the skills and behaviors along with the work values that are required for success in the workplace. Let us teach you how to: • Network effectively to find career opportunities • Determine if a posted opportunity is right for you • Improve employability skills • Write a résumé and cover letter • Fill out an application correctly • Prepare for an interview • Keep that new job and get promoted Do I qualify for the fee waiver?

North Carolina’s Career Readiness Certificate (CRC) is designed to meet the needs of both employers and job seekers in this transitioning economy. WorkKeys is a job skills assessment system measuring “real world” skills employers believe are critical to job success. These skills are valuable for any occupation, skilled or professional, and at any level of education. • For employers, the CRC offers a reliable means of determining whether a potential employee has the necessary literacy, numeracy and problem solving skills to be “job ready.” • For job seekers, the CRC serves as a portable credential that can be more meaningful to employers than a high school degree or a resume citing experience in a different job setting. • The CRC is based on WorkKeys, a nationally recognized, skills assessment tool developed by ACT Inc. WorkKeys Assessments measure the current skills of individuals in four key areas: 1. Reading for Information (testing time 55 minutes) The Reading for Information test measures the skill people use when they read and use written text in order to do a job. The written texts include memos, letters, directions, signs, notices, bulletins, policies, and regulations.

EDGECOMBE COMMUNITY COLLEGE

2. Applied Mathematics (testing time 55 minutes) The Applied Mathematics test measures the skills people use when they apply mathematical reasoning and problem-solving techniques to work-related problems. The test questions require the examinee to set up and solve the types of problems and do the types of calculations that actually occur in the workplace. 3. Locating Information (testing time 55 minutes) The Locating Information test measures the skill people use when they work with workplace graphics such as charts, graphs, tables, forms, flowcharts, diagrams, floor plans, maps, and instrument gauges. 4. Applied Technology (testing time 45 minutes) The Applied Technology test measures the skill people use when they solve problems with machines and equipment found in the workplace. This skill includes four areas of technology: electricity, mechanics, fluid dynamics, and thermodynamics. Please check CRC testing dates on edgecombe.edu/ resources/crc/career-readiness-certificate-testing-dates/, then register by way of email by sending your name, address, telephone number, and desired testing date to: Debra Glover, (252) 618-6617 gloverd@edgecombe.edu
