Career Seekers and the Career Readiness Certificate (CRC) 

Getting a Central Pennsylvania Career Readiness Certificate allows an individual to show prospective employers that you possess the basic skills they require. 

Even if you have a high school diploma (or GED) or a post-secondary degree, the CRC further verifies that you can handle the kinds of tasks – finding information, reading instructions and directions, even working with figures – that are common in today's workplace.
