ACT WorkKeys^® offers an innovative approach to bridge the gap between levels of job skills needed in the workplace and the actual skill levels of prospective employees. WorkKeys gives students and workers alike reliable information about their workplace skill levels and the skill levels required for jobs, enabling them to make better career and educational decisions. The WorkKeys system currently measures eight workplace skills. Each skill is described by a distinct skill scale.

KeyTrain™ is a comprehensive, yet easy-to-use system for improving the basic skills measured by the WorkKeys® Employment System. Using KeyTrain, you can assess your potential WorkKeys score, review topics in each WorkKeys skill area, and practice problems similar to those on an actual WorkKeys assessment.

The KeyTrain system includes targeted, self-paced instruction, pre- and post-assessments, a complete learning
management system and an occupational job profiles database. These components can be used to help individuals learn, practice and demonstrate the skills they need to succeed in the jobs and careers they desire.
