The WorkKeys tests for the National Career Readiness Certificate will be offered four times in April.

The Wayne Occupational Readiness Keys for Success (WORKS) program will provide testing sessions 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. on April 5 and April 19, 12:30-4:30 p.m. on April 14, and 4:30-9 p.m. on April 27. All of these sessions will be held in room 136 of the Walnut Building at Wayne Community College. Pre-registration is required, by calling 919-739-7004.

Cost to take the set of three skill assessments (applied mathematics, locating information, and reading for information) is $36 but assistance to cover that cost may be available.

The Airman and Family Readiness Center on Seymour Johnson Air Force Base offers free assessments to military personnel and their dependents.

For information or to register, call 919-772-1123.

Self-directed instruction and skills upgrade training is also offered in the WORKS Lab, Room 136 of the Walnut Building. The lab is open 9 a.m.-noon on Mondays and Thursdays, 1-4 p.m. on Mondays and Tuesdays, and 5-8 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Individuals may earn bronze, silver, gold, or platinum certificates based on their performance on the tests. The NCRC is recognized by employers across the state as a proven measurement of job skills.
