Kentucky Certified Work Ready Communities Initiative


Kentucky’s initiative certifies the quality of the workforce based on six criteria specified by economic developers, site selectors, businesses and industries. In addition to the National Career Readiness Certificate criteria, communities in Kentucky must meet goals for high school graduation rates, soft skills development, educational attainment, community collaboration and digital literacy.

Kentucky’s objective is to provide a globally competitive skilled workforce responsive to the  demands of business and industry already located and looking to locate in the commonwealth.

On behalf of the Governor, the Kentucky Workforce Investment Board certifies counties as Work Ready when each of the six criteria are met. Counties close to meeting the criteria and presenting plans to achieve the goals within three years can be certified as Work Ready In Progress...

This website reports the ACT® National Career Readiness Certificates earned at the county and state level and the progress being made by those participating states and counties in the ACT Certified Work Ready Community initiative. This site only represents data stored in the ACT RegiSTAR™ system, a web-based reporting and management tool for National Career Readiness Certificates.


State and national NCRC data runs from January 2006 through March 31, 2013 , while county-level data is starting from January 2012. State job profile data runs from January 2007 through March 31, 2013 , while national job profile data reaches back to 1993. Again, please note that county-level NCRC data collection began in January 2012 for WorkKeys Internet Version, and in July 2012 for pencil and paper assessments. State and national certificate totals include historical data prior to 2012.


WorkKeys® assessments are used across the nation, and many states have built their own Career Readiness Certificates based upon WorkKeys assessment results. You will find an asterisk denoting those states. This website will continue to evolve as the first two rounds of participating states give us feedback on what they would like to see -- and based on your feedback, as well.
