Congratulations to Mena High School JAG students BLAKE CASTOR & DEVON DAVIS who completed the 2021 National Career Readiness Certification earning platinum status. An additional 17 MHS students earned a gold certificate, 20 silver certificates & 14 bronze.
A National (Arkansas) Career Readiness Certificate is a portable credential based upon the WorkKeys® assessments that demonstrates to employers that an individual possesses the basic workplace skills required for 21st century jobs. Getting a NCRC will allow an individual to show prospective employers that he or she possesses the basic skills they are looking for. Even if a job seeker has a high school diploma, GED or post-secondary degree, the Arkansas NCRC further verifies that he or she can handle tasks such as reading instructions and directions, working with figures, and finding information - tasks common in today's workplace.
National Career Readiness Certification (Arkansas Career Readiness Certification) Areas
Workplace Documents – The ability to understand information in common workplace documents such as letters, memos, procedures and instructions.
Applied Mathematics – The ability to use mathematical reasoning in solving common workplace situations.
Graphic Literacy – The ability to understand and extract information from graphics such as diagrams, tables, forms, graphs, and charts.
To be certified, you must take all 3 assessments and score level 3 or better in each assessment - (lowest score of three assessments determines the overall level of certification). Each assessment is 55 minutes long.
Thank you Mrs. Singleton for sharing your adoption story with FCCLA today! Also, FCCLA officer applications are now available! Please see Mrs. Hobson or Mrs. Wilson if interested.
