WorkKeys
WorkKeys is a standardized assessment that evaluates an individual’s skills in many subject areas such as: Reading for Information, Applied Mathematics, Locating Information, Observation, and Writing. The first three subject areas that were mentioned are the three areas in which a person must test, and score high enough in order to receive a Career Readiness Certificate.
A Career Readiness Certificate (CRC) is a nationally recognized certification that proves your skills in the three areas of: Reading for Information, Applied Mathematics, and Locating Information. Studies have shown that these skills are essential to most jobs. Also individuals who have earned a CRC tend to perform better than individuals who have not earned a certificate. For this reason, many employers are starting to require a CRC for hiring purposes either before an interview will be offered or before the individual is placed into a position. Also, many companies are beginning to use CRC results for promotional purposes in addition to the individual’s job performance and other criteria set by the employer.
