WorkKeys Program®

Gaps between job requirements and workforce skills concern employers, educators, and others. Workkeys is a program where participants can work together to ensure individuals are well prepared for higher-skill, higher-wage jobs.

Why WorkKeys®?
WorkKeys® is a program employers can use to identify and develop workers for a wide range of skilled jobs. Students and workers can document and advance their employability skills. Educators can tailor instructional programs to help students acquire the skills employers need.

WorkKeys® is a job skills assessment system measuring "real world" skills employers believe are critical to job success. The WorkKeys® assessment measures employee skills in three key areas known to be critical to business.

Those skills are:

  • Communication — This includes things like business writing, listening, and reading for information.
  • Problem Solving — These skills are applied mathematics, applied technology, locating information, and observation.
  • Teamwork — This assessment indicates how well employees can work together as a team.

    • The WorkKeys® system is the most efficient assessment process available. Using a unique job profiling component along with assessments, the Alliance is able to show how a person's skills compare to specific job requirements.
