Ashley County recently completed certification as an ACT Work Ready Community, demonstrating our commitment to developing a strong workforce pipeline. This initiative will empower local leaders by identifying skills gaps and quantifying the skill level of our local workforce.  Data gathered through ACT WorkKeys National Career Readiness Certificate testing will allow local leaders, educational institutions, industry representative and economic developers to strengthen workforce development efforts in Southeast Arkansas by measuring and closing skills gaps.  Industries looking to relocate to Crossett can feel confident in the workforce skills illustrated by the ACT WorkKeys NCRC.
