NCAC Services
NCAC provides individuals with Career Development resources in order to produce a skilled workforce for businesses. Currently, we offer various assessments, workshops and services to equip job seekers with the necessary skills to achieve self-sufficient employment.
Resource Centers
NCAC and its partners offer computers with Internet access, copy and fax machines, telephones and career resource materials. Labor market information is also available on local, state, national and international levels.
Workshops
NCAC provides workshops for Job Seekers to give them the ability to develop a plan of action. The workshops include a variety of topics on job searching techniques, negotiating skills, resume writing and interviewing skills.
Networking Meetings
NCAC holds a series of networking meetings that provide insight and knowledge about the world of work from career and job search experts in the community.
Talent Development/Skills Upgrade
Talent Development helps a person changing careers to increase his or her skills through the Workforce Investment Act training funds. Training is for customers who lack the necessary skills to achieve self-sufficient employment or those who are looking to get one step further in their careers.
Assessments
We can help job seekers explore themselves in order to determine industry preferences or types of jobs to pursue. NCAC has 3 types of assessments: skills (WorkKeys), personality (Myers Briggs) and interest (Strong Interest Inventory). Please contact a location near you for more information
National Career Readiness Certificates (NCRCs)
The National Career Readiness Certificate verifies to employers that an individual has essential core employability skills in Reading, Math, and Locating Information. ACT has researched over 16,000 occupations, and these three skills are highly important to the majority of jobs in the workplace. The Certificate is an easily understood and nationally valued credential that certifies the attainment of these workplace skills.

One-on-One Career Coaching

During these meetings, Career Coaches use questionnaires and interviewing techniques to identify a customer's work history, skill level, educational level and any barriers that need to be addressed.
