Career Assessments
The Ready to Work assessment is a workforce education and development tool, comprised of three proctored assessments: Applied Mathematics, Reading for Information, and Locating Information, leading to a work-ready credential.
WorkKeys consists of three elements: Job skill assessments, which are designed to measure foundational and personal skills as they apply to the workplace. Job analysis, which pinpoints or estimates skill benchmarks for specific job positions that individuals must meet through testing. Skill training, which helps individuals boost their scores. Obtaining Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum WorkKeys signifies to employers that the job seeker has the skills needed for a position.
Please contact your designated center for more information on testing.
