Workforce Development/WorkKeys®

The WorkKeys® system provides a common language between education, employee skills, and the needs of area businesses and industries. Staff members use this system to perform job profiles in order to determine the exact tasks involved and the skills employees need to be successful. Employers can then assess new applicants more accurately. This program assists managers in establishing a qualified job applicant pool. Companies may also use the job profile and skills analysis to improve the promotion process for workers already employed by the organization. WorkKeys® is the foundation component of the Georgia Work Ready program.
