What is an ACT® Work Ready Community?

​​ACT Work Ready Communities (WRC) empowers states, regions and counties with data, processes and tools that drive economic growth. Participants are leveraging the ACT® WorkKeys® National Career Readiness Certificate® (NCRC®) to measure and close the skills gap — and building common frameworks that link, align and match their workforce development efforts.
Join us on August 25th from 12:00PM - 1:00PM at the
First Security Bank Community Room to hear a guest speaker
from the Arkansas Economic Development Commission​ as we
​discuss the ACT Workforce Ready Program.
We all have a stake in making our country more competitive and closing the skills gap that threatens to paralyze our economy. Change starts at the grassroots level, by providing a community-based framework that:
  • Links workforce development to education
  • Aligns with the economic development needs of communities, regions, and states
  • Matches individuals to jobs based on skill levels

you do occasionally, it comes from what
