ACT National Career Readiness Certificate Recommended for Three Semester Hours of College Credit

American Council on Education Recommends College Credit for Certificates Awarded at Silver Level or Above

IOWA CITY, Iowa—The American Council on Education (ACE) has recommended that postsecondary educational institutions award college credit in applied critical thinking to individuals who earn the ACT National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC™). ACE recommends that three credit hours be awarded to recipients who earn specific levels of the credential.

“This development will intensify the momentum building behind the NCRC, a credential now recognized as the most effective strategy for certifying workplace skills and predicting workplace success,” said Jon Whitmore, ACT chief executive officer. “The credential can now serve a larger segment of the U.S. population by expanding postsecondary opportunities for returning service members, dislocated and emerging workers, career and technical education students, and many others. This will ultimately create important dividends for the U.S. economy.”
