Participants will also take the CRC--Career Readiness Certificate assessment during this training. The CRC is a 3 hour assessment tool used to earn this Virginia Workforce Credential. The CRC will assess each individual’s level of job readiness in these three areas: reading for information, locating information and applied math. The CRC is scored at a level of Bronze, Silver or Gold. For more information about the CRC (Career Readiness Certificate), visit the web at http://crc.virginia.gov/
Participants who complete this career studies certificate and earn a CRC (Career Readiness Certificate) will be guaranteed an interview with Georgia Pacific for vacancies for which they apply for and meet qualifications of the job vacancy. We invite other business and industry in the area to offer the same incentive.
Participants must apply for financial aid through SVCC. Scholarships are available to cover the cost of tuition and CRC assessment through SVCC if participants are not eligible for financial aid and don’t have any other payment source.
