Here are 6 strong reasons how the WorkKeys test (and earning the National Career Readiness Certificate) can help high school seniors with their future careers:

✅ 1. Shows employers you have real workplace skills

The WorkKeys assessment measures skills like applied math, problem-solving, and reading workplace documents. These are skills used in all jobs—not just academic settings. Employers take it seriously because it's tied directly to job performance.

✅ 2. Makes your résumé stand out

Earning a National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC) gives you an official credential you can list on your résumé, LinkedIn, college applications, and job applications.

✅ 3. Helps match students to careers they’re already strong in

WorkKeys helps students identify career areas based on their strengths and skill levels, reducing guesswork about what career path to pursue.

✅ 4. Opens access to more job opportunities

Thousands of companies (especially in manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, and public service) use WorkKeys scores during hiring or promotion decisions. Some employers require the certificate.

✅ 5. Saves time and money on training

WorkKeys helps students avoid jobs they are unprepared for and find roles where they can succeed without extra training. Better fit = less job turnover.

✅ 6. Builds confidence for entering the workforce

Seeing a score that represents real abilities gives students validation of their strengths. “I can do this. I’m ready.”
