Career 101 is an ACT product utilized by the NCRC program. This product provides remediation for NCRC, preparatory instruction and pretest for the NCRC. Pretests are indicators that allow the NCRC assessment to start at the appropriate level. The pretest also indicates individuals that should receive preparatory instruction. Pretests and preparatory instruction are recommended but not required. Test proctors will be reimbursed at a rate not to exceed $25 per hour. Any reimbursement for test proctoring must be for testing of more than or at least 5 participants unless prior approval has been granted from MCCB or if a schedule of hours for walk-ins has been established and approved by the MCCB. The salary line item for these projects should be employability/remediation. Colleges must maintain timesheets to document the proctor’s time.
