ACT WorkKeys assessments are the cornerstone of ACT workforce solutions. The assessments help you measure the workplace skills that can affect your job performance. Scores are based on job profiles that help employers select, hire, train, develop and retain a high-performance workforce.

WorkKeys assessments will be administered in the fall and the spring, and are state-mandated assessments. Not all students are required to take WorkKeys.  Students that are required to take WorkKeys have been identified as a CTE concentrator.

Students can create an account on MyWorkKeys.com to gain access to score transcripts and NCRC achievement details.
