WORKKEYS

WorkKeys® Foundational and Personal Skills assessments provide reliable, relevant information about workplace skill levels.

WorkKeys Foundation Skills assessments measure cognitive abilities such as applied mathematics, reading for information, and locating information.

• The WorkKeys Reading for Information test measures the skill people use when they read and use written text in order to do a job. The written texts include memos, letters, directions, signs, notices, bulletins, policies, and regulations. It is often the case that workplace communications are not necessarily well-written or targeted to the appropriate audience. Reading for Information materials do not include information that is presented graphically, such as in charts, forms, or blueprints.

• The WorkKeys Applied Mathematics assessment helps current and potential employees measure the math skills they have against those the workplace requires.This assessment measures the skill people use when they apply mathematical reasoning, critical thinking, and problem-solving techniques to work-related problems. The test questions require the examinee to set up and solve the types of problems and do the types of calculations that actually occur in the workplace. This test is designed to be taken with a calculator. A formula sheet that includes all formulas required for the assessment is provided. While individuals may use calculators and conversion tables to help with the problems, they still need to use math skills to think them through.

• The WorkKeys Locating Information test measures the skill people use when they work with workplace graphics. Examinees are asked to find information in a graphic or insert information into a graphic. They also must compare, summarize, and analyze information found in related graphics.

Those taking the WorkKeys test series are eligible for the National Career Readiness Credential (NCRC).
