The week coincided with the 6th Annual Michigan NCRC Conference in Lansing, MI on Thursday and Friday, October 21 and 22.
The state of Michigan has embraced the NCRC throughout its workforce development and educational system. All high school Juniors are required to take the three WorkKeys assessments that make up the NCRC.
