About the Program
WorkKeys is a national system designed by ACT (formerly American College Testing) to identify and measure critical employability skills. The system is composed of three main elements: job profiling, assessment, and instructional support. ACT designed the system in alignment with the Uniform Guidelines for Equal Employment Opportunity.
Results from WorkKeys profiling and assessment can be used for selection decisions such as hiring, promotion, job reassignment, job redesign, and training. Job Profile reports are also an excellent tool for writing or updating job descriptions and requirements.
