ACT WorkKeys

ACT WorkKeys Initiative: With an emphasis on economic development, Copiah-Lincoln Community, through efforts in many departments including Workforce Education, has embarked on a regional work ready initiative. This work-ready initiative focuses on documenting the skills of the Mississippi workforce using the ACT® WorkKeys® National Career Readiness Certificate® (ACT® WorkKeys® NCRC®), which gives job seekers an advantage in launching or advancing careers no matter their location.

Also, the benefits for employers are noteworthy, as they are assisted by the Initiative in identifying exactly what foundational skills applicant possess. Not to mention the potential to improve retention, reduce hiring time and reduce training time. The bottom line is all aspects of our workforce benefit from this initiative.
