Oklahoma’s
In today’s global economy, finding and keeping a
job requires higher skill levels than ever before.
Employers want workers with documented skills
based on ”real world” experience. WorkKeys
assessments for the Career Readiness Certificate
(CRC) measure core skills employers deem critical
for job success. These skills are valuable for any
occupation—skilled and professional—and at any
level of education. The ACT WorkKeys database,
with over 16,000 job profiles, identifies
job skills, and the CRC assessments
determine an individual’s skill level.
If there is a gap between the two,
the assessment results will help
identify the training needs so skill
upgrade training can take place.

Your Opportunities
“OG&E wants employees who may
be able to transition from one
job to another, so we invest in
our people and our training
programs. We believe that
WorkKeys assessments will
help us find the right type of
candidates for open positions.”

Employer Benefits
The Career Readiness Certificate (CRC)
bridges the gap between an organization
and a qualified workforce. It benefits
everyone involved in the hiring
process and employee training.
Profiling the tasks in a specific
job identifies the skills needed
on the job. The WorkKeys
assessment then measures
an individual’s skill level. If
there are any gaps in the
necessary skill level for the
job, the WorkKeys assessment
helps identify the training needs.
Decrease training time
Decrease production errors
Reduce turnover, overtime and waste while
increasing morale
Take the guesswork out of your selection decisions
Improve efficiency of your training practices
“The greatest benefit from the CRC is a more
streamlined hiring process dovetailed with the low
turnover rate and increased productivity. Employee
retention reduces training costs. Because of the
WorkKeys indicators, we can cherry pick who
we want to hire.”
