EdReady Math Pathways
It's a common story: A person sets out in pursuit of a degree or job track only to hit an immediate roadblock—their current math skills don't measure up to the requirements of a particular program of study or vocation. That's why NROC developed EdReady math pathways—152 goals aligned to the most common career and certificate programs in the United States.
EdReady, a personalized learning system, helps students gain the math readiness required by their degree or job aspirations, providing a concise study path unique to their goals.
