As part of the Virginia Career Readiness Certificate(CRC) initiative, the Virginia Skills Bank was developed by the Virginia Electronic Commerce Technology Center (VECTEC). This robust, queryable database of WorkKeys and CRC results was produced under the leadership of Bill Muir of VECTEC (www.vectec.org) and with the assistance of the VCCS (gwesterman@vccs.edu), and field users.

In NC, Stephanie Deese used the Skills Bank as a template to develop a database, and she is now offering the template FREE to any state that wants to develop its own.

This is an efficient and effective solution to data management across regions. Each state will design its own "front page" for the database but data will be able to flow across state lines to assist in economic development.
