Whether it’s the next phase of education, a new career, or a transition from current work, the NCRC can open the door of opportunity for anyone looking to grow and advance.
How the NCRC Helps People Achieve Workplace Success
John Hodge, a maintenance technician at Mercedes-Benz,
credits ACT WorkKeys as one of the main reasons he was able to secure his job.
“One of the sections of WorkKeys is reading for information. That’s the most important part of my job – going to the HMI, finding out what the fault is, why the robot is down, why the line is stopped. If I didn’t do this well on the WorkKeys assessment, I would not have made it. It was vital for me to do a good job on [the assessment].”
For Lindsay Moore, manufacturing technician at Click Bond, Inc., earning a Platinum NCRC
expanded her career opportunities within her company.
“I’m very surprised at where I’m at [sic]. I have more opportunity to move forward within this company, within this career, within this field, and it comes back to the NCRC. I have my associate’s degree and other certifications, and I’m continuing to go to school. Click Bond zeroing in on the NCRC and looking at my scores and looking at my aptitude gave them enough information and confidence to put me in a position that I would never have thought I was capable of.”
According to
Oswego County News, high school student Nolan Gardenier credits his NCRC as a key to future success.
“It prepares me for my career and it shows that I’m ready for what I want to do. I don’t want to go to college. I want to go out and work. It’s going to make that easier and it’s going to expand my career options.”
