Workforce Planning - How WorkKeys plays a role in Stackable Credentials

Essential foundational skills matter when it comes to stackable credentials. ACT data research indicates that using WorkKeys for readiness, improves individual success in credential attainment as well as apprenticeship completion. Use of WorkKeys assessments and curriculum can close skills gaps, and has been used to develop successful apprenticeship candidates when used as part of a pre-apprenticeship program. 

Cheri will discuss how WorkKeys certificate complements such traditional credentials as high school diplomas, community college degrees, and certificates of technical proficiency. Academic credentials mark the fulfillment of an individual’s classroom learning experiences. The ACT WorkKeys NCRC relies on standardized assessments and confirms an individual’s competence in a specific set of workplace skills. Human resource managers can gain a foothold in enhancing workforce productivity.
