Site Selection Magazine's November edition includes a dozen location spotlights that include WorkKeys NCRC growth trends to demonstrate workforce quality. Features include Kansas, the Dakotas, Virginia, Nebraska, New York, Mississippi, Washington, and Wyoming.

Texarkana College and the Texarkana USA Chamber have added ACT WorkKeys Essential Skills to the LEAD 1100 course. This equips Workforce students with key job skills and prepares them to earn the National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC).

“We are so excited to partner with Express Employment and be able to provide this resource to our community. We encourage anybody in the workforce or entering the workforce to explore how the NCRC can benefit you in the process,” says Hillary Cloud, Director of Workforce Development. “As the job market continues to be more and more competitive, this certificate can give you a competitive advantage during the job searching process. We hope to identify more dates in the future to host another Earning Day Event. This first one was a big success! We applaud those individuals who are taking advantage of the resources available to them.”
