National Work Readiness Council
The National Work Readiness Council is a national nonprofit workforce development, training, and advocacy organization formed in 2003 and officially incorporated in 2006 by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Founding partners included the New York Department of Labor; Workforce Florida, now CareerSource Florida; New Jersey Employment and Training Commission; the departments of labor and training for the State of Rhode Island, State of Washington, and the District of Columbia; and Junior Achievement Worldwide. Early funding was provided by the U.S. Department of Labor, the National Institute for Literacy, and the founding partners.
NWRC-inspired career readiness solutions are transforming America's workforce, and the National Work Readiness Credential has evolved as the only nationally recognized credential validating foundational employability and soft skills readiness for technical training, apprenticeship, and employment.
