About Arkansas Work Ready Communities

Known as the Natural State, the Arkansas Economic Development Commission (AEDC) describes its diverse economic mix where global retailers are neighbors to massive data curators. Biotechnologists rub elbows with industrial manufacturers. Alternative energy providers share communities with logistics specialists.

More than half of Arkansas counties participate in Work Ready Communities. The Southeast Arkansas Economic Development District of ten counties became the first Work Ready region in 2022. Mississippi County was first to certify as a WRC in May 2017.

AEDC invests in WorkKeys Job Profilers as a service to new and existing industry. The WorkKeys NCRC is available through Arkansas Workforce Centers along with a network of high schools and community colleges.

Arkansas Higher Education seized the opportunity for use of the WorkKeys NCRC as prior learning assessment for academic credit. Three-credit recommendations provide guidance on technical math and technical writing.

Does your business support job applicants with an ACT WorkKeys National Career Readiness Certificate?

Please join this list.

This website reports the ACT® WorkKeys National Career Readiness Certificates earned at the county and state level and the progress being made by those participating states and counties in the ACT Work Ready Community initiative. This site only represents data stored in the ACT RegiSTAR™ system, a web-based reporting and management tool for ACT WorkKeys National Career Readiness Certificates.

State and national ACT WorkKeys NCRC data runs from January 2006 through October 31, 2023, while county-level data is starting from January 2012. State job profile data runs from January 2007 through October 31, 2023, while national job profile data reaches back to 1993. Again, please note that county-level ACT WorkKeys NCRC data collection began in January 2012 for WorkKeys Internet Version, and in July 2012 for pencil and paper assessments. State and national certificate totals include historical data prior to 2012.

WorkKeys® assessments are used across the nation, and many states have built their own Career Readiness Certificates based upon WorkKeys assessment results. You will find an asterisk denoting those states. This website will continue to evolve as the first two rounds of participating states give us feedback on what they would like to see -- and based on your feedback, as well.

Please contact us if you have comments, questions or would like to receive more information.
