What is the NCRC?

Oregon's National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC) is a portable, skill-based certificate that will assist in obtaining employment.

The Oregon NCRC complements credentials suchs as a high school diploma, industry certificate or college degree. Proof of academic achievement is an important factor in hiring. As a certification of your foundational workplace skills, the Oregon NCRC gives an employer additional insight into your qualifications.

The NCRC gives you a competitive edge whether you are applying for a job or working toward a promotion.
