We offer ACT® WorkKeys®

ACT® WorkKeys® basic skills assessments demonstrate competence in “real world” skills that employers believe are critical to job success. A passing score on the ACT® WorkKeys® applied math and workplace documents can be used to obtain your paraprofessional license from the Illinois State Board of Education. Those two assessments along with the graphic literacy assessment combine for your NCRC Certificate which some of the local unions use to assess prospective apprenticeships. To receive more information about ACT® WorkKeys®, you can email us through the button below.
