Skills-Based Workforce Development

We know that when communities work together, they can achieve truly great things.

This is why we created ACT Work Ready Communities (WRC), a collaborative that empowers states, regions, and counties to connect and foster data-driven economic growth. We work with communities to identify and close skills gaps and develop processes and frameworks that help them take their workforce development efforts to the next level.

ACT WorkKeys tools empower work ready communities to train, assess, certify, and define skills necessary for the demands of today. Participants leverage the ACT WorkKeys National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC) to measure and close the skills gap and build common frameworks that link, align, and match their workforce development efforts.
