After a prospective student has attended the information session and finalized how the program will be paid for, students must complete the WorkKeys assessment.
- The cost of $75.00 must be paid upon registration for a test appointment and prior to taking the assessment.
- Those applicants who do not meet the required benchmark may retest, at a cost of $25.00 per test, and assistance is provided to help students improve their scores.
- The Adult Career Center may provide tutoring to help students prepare to retest.
WorkKeys levels have been set for each of the approved programs according to the appropriate profile for that particular occupation. Achievement of the appropriate levels on each of the WorkKeys tests, Workplace Documents, Graphic Literacy and Applied Mathematics helps to assure that students have appropriate math and reading levels to achieve success in their chosen program. Additionally, the acquisition of pre-determined benchmark scores on the WorkKeys assessment allows the student to receive a National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC) at the bronze, silver, gold or platinum level. The credential is very useful to students as they pursue employment as it provides information to potential employers of the student’s academic competency level.
