WorkKeys - Employers

WorkKeys® is a reliable and nationally-validated system evaluating and analyzing workplace skills. Thousands of jobs are "profiled" to identify skill levels necessary to perform each job. Skills measured by WorkKeys® are transferable skills - skills necessary for most jobs. Tasks are based on workplace situations and do not require job-specific knowledge.
