ºÚÁϸ£ÀûÍøWorkKeys® Profiling Training

Profiling Training

When your organization is tasked with helping businesses and career seekers to succeed, it’s crucial to become an expert and a resource on the local jobs and the skills needed to perform them. Using our approach, you receive input directly from subject matter experts to ensure a customized analysis which links to and validates the optimal ACT® WorkKeys Assessments to use for hiring, advancement, and training decisions. 

ACT® WorkKeys Profiling brings the specifics of a job, a curriculum, or an occupation into focus and your clients (such as employers, educational institutions, workforce development agencies) are able to use this information for a number of purposes including, but not limited to, the development of employee selection procedures and the identification of entry requirements into technical or other training programs. WorkKeys Profiling also supports ºÚÁϸ£ÀûÍøWork Ready Communities® (WRC) and can be used as a method to achieve WRC maintaining goals.
