National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC) workshop

Begins at 11:30am and ends at 1pm
Need Help Looking for Job Candidates?
The Missouri Career Center is teaming up with the Carthage R-9 Technical Center and Carthage Chamber of Commerce to discuss a local business tool to help with an employer’s hiring process. The National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC) is made up of a series of assessments specifically designed for employers to determine the work readiness of job candidates. Job seekers who earn the NCRC demonstrate that they have the skills to do the job. Employers can refine the applicant pool, make better job matches and identify skill gaps to overcome any decreased productivity. There is no cost to eligible employers or job candidates to take any assessments or to earn the NCRC through the Missouri Career Center Workforce System.

Owners and HR directors of any size of business as well as community leaders will benefit from this FREE informational workshop. Please join us on February 27 from 11:30 am-1 pm at the Carthage R-9 Technical Center –South Campus, 1100 E. Airport Drive, and enjoy a complimentary lunch. RSVP to Holley Goodnight by 5 p.m. on February 23 to goodnighth@carthage.k12.mo.us.
