WorkKeys Assignment

You should have also taken all three of the WorkKeys assessments. If you have not taken all three or wish to retake any of the three assessments, I will be available Wednesday morning as well as all day Friday this week.  Miss Garnett will be available Wednesday afternoon to administer assessments but you must notify me today if you wish to test Wednesday afternoon.

I have placed a Score Report file in the Shared folder on the Google Drive for each of you.  So how do your scores relate to occupations you are interested in?  To find out more about specific careers and their skills requirements, check out the ACT ** job profiles database. **

Based upon your results and your interests, select one career from the ** ACT job profiles database ** and complete the WorkKeys Completion Assignment that I have put in your Career Center folder in Google Drive.  Open the MS Word file as a Google Doc in order to complete the assignment. You may select a career of your choice to enter within the WorkKeys Completion Assignment (it does not have to be a career recommended thru the OkCareerGuide suggestions).  You may select the desired information from the job profiles database and then right click and copy and the right click and “paste without formatting” into the WorkKeys Completion Assignment.  Please enter all the information requested for each question (Yes I want you to copy all of the job duties for the career not just a few you pick out).

If you enter a job title in the Job title field and no O’Net Code job titles show up in the bottom box as shown below…..

Try not entering anything in the Job Title box and just select a Career Cluster and click Search to see what jobs show up then. You can select a job in the bottom box to get the information about that particular job.

There is information about how the certificate levels are determined on the  WorkKeys National Career Readiness Certificate   page of this website.

• Bronze Level – Signifies an individual has scored at least a Level 3 on each of the three assessments and has the necessary skills for 16% of the jobs in the WorkKeys Job Pro database.
• Silver Level – Signifies an individual has scored at least a Level 4 on each of the three assessments and has the necessary skills for 67% of the jobs on the WorkKeys Job Pro database.
• Gold Level – Signifies an individual has scored at least a Level 5 on each of the three assessments and has the necessary skills for 93% of the jobs on the WorkKeys Job Pro database.
• Platinum Level – Signifies an individual has scored at least a Level 6 on each of the three assessments and has the necessary skills for 99% of the jobs on the WorkKeys Job Pro database.

Your National Career Readiness Certification Level is based on your lowest score in the set of tests you’ve taken. If you’ve taken any of the WorkKeys tests more than once, you will use your highest set of scores.

Example:

• If your lowest score is a:
  • 3 = Bronze
  • 4 = Silver
  • 5 = Gold
  • 6 = Platinum.
