Who may issue the CRC?
The CRC may be issued: 1) as a statewide credential; 2) by any professional organization; or 3) by a private organization. For a statewide initiative, the CRC should be issued by a workforce development system partner such as the governor’s office, a government agency (e.g. Department of Commerce, Labor or Economic Development) or the community college system. If the CRC initiative is not statewide, then any organization may issue the CRC. For example, in several states, local WIBs, individual community colleges, chambers of commerce, high schools, and private companies have issued thousands of CRCs.
