WHAT IS IT AGAIN?

The WorkKeys® Assessment System is a comprehensive system for measuring, communicating and improving the common skills required for success in the workplace.

 

The job analysis component of WorkKeys helps to set benchmarks that correspond with WorkKeys scores, giving you a target score to hit in order to qualify for a job.

 

• Employers use job analysis to determine which skills are required for a job, and the level of each skill needed to perform the job successfully. This helps employees determine the standards for how an applicant must score in a particular WorkKeys skill assessment in order to be qualified for the job.
  
• The job analysis element validates the use of WorkKeys foundational skills assessments for hiring, complying with legal standards set by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
  
• When taking a WorkKeys test, the skill level at which you score corresponds to how prepared you are for the job, or how much remedial training you need.
