ACT Career Ready 101 (CR 101)
ACT Career Ready 101 (CR 101) is an internet-based career training system that enables instructors and training programs to empower learners to design and travel self-paced pathways to career opportunities. This comprehensive learning system promotes sustained success by encouraging career exploration, positive work behaviors, and greater capacity to develop resumes, conduct job searches, and succeed in interviews and on-the-job skills. The system includes resources to help learners achieve the precise levels of the skills they need to succeed in the careers they choose.
Career Ready 101 is also an effective tool to assess and enhance job seekers’ skill levels and workforce preparedness in order to make them more marketable to employers. The goal of the training is to prepare Career Center staff to introduce CR 101 to customers as a resource they can use to explore career interests, learn job readiness and job search skills, identify the reading and math skills needed for a variety of occupations, and use the online learning lessons to improve their skills, as needed.
