About Work Ready Communities
ACT Work Ready Communities (WRC) empowers counties and states with process, data and tools deployed in a common workforce development framework to drive economic growth by certifying counties as work ready communities when established goals are attained.
Think of it as a docking station where all participating states and counties plug into the common county-level ACT Work Ready Community criteria as a part of establishing county goals. Then, state teams add to these goals to align county-level initiatives to state workforce development strategies to drive economic growth.
The common criteria are based upon the ACT WorkKeys National Career Readiness Certificate (ACT WorkKeys NCRC) and business engagement to create a community-based workforce development process that links, aligns and matches the county’s workforce development efforts to the needs of business and industry. The ultimate goal: for all counties in a participating state to achieve work ready status.
ACT is leading this national effort and offers a year-long WRC Academy to help participating states share best practices, customize the national implementation framework for their own needs and build career pathways aligned to growth industries.
