Clackamas County & the Impact of the NCRC 
Early College and Career Options (ECCO) & 
the Impact of the NCRC
Forming ideal Partnerships: Education and the Workforce
Education plays a crucial role in helping a region close skill gaps that prevent people from getting a job and put existing jobs at risk. Education helps create competitive advantage for individuals through increased skills.              

The NCRC validates these skills and a learner’s readiness for work. For some students it can mean the difference between graduating and dropping out.


The NCRC Certification means:
  • K12 public education can utilize the NCRC to demonstrate work readiness for graduates.
  • A gold-level NCRC satisfies high-school graduation requirements for reading and math.
  • Career Technical Education programs that are closely-aligned with local businesses can use the NCRC as an additional tool that helps people gain the skills, technical knowledge, academic foundation, and real-world experience they need prepare for high-skill, high-demand, and high-wage careers.
  • GED/Adult Basic Education can help fast-track the career pathway for adults returning to the workforce. An NCRC could be the gateway to college for those who earn a GED.
