WorkKeys Testing Information
ACT WorkKeys® is an assessment system that measures “real
world” job skills that employers believe are critical to job success. Lansing
Community College is your site to attain the WorkKeys
National Career Readiness Certification and Teacher Assistant (or
Paraprofessional) Certification.
The WorkKeys System is also often used by employers and organizations to assess
prospective or current employees in many workforce skill areas. If you are
representing an organization that is interested in using WorkKeys at LCC please

webpage.
The National Career Readiness Certificate™
The certificate is designed to confirm a person’s competence in a specific set
of workplace skills. A successful candidate can use their certificate to
compliment other traditional credentials such as a diploma or college degree.
Many employers use this certification to verify that an individual has essential
core employability skills.
The assessment consists of the WorkKeys Reading for Information, Applied
Mathematics, and Locating Information tests.

Assistants (Parapros)
Lansing Community College offers WorkKeys Paraprofessional Exam sessions for
those individuals required to be certified under the “No Child Left Behind”
legislation.
The Parapro Assessment measures the skills and knowledge in reading, writing,
and math of prospective and practicing paraprofessionals. It also measures their
ability to apply those skills and knowledge when assisting in classroom
instruction. The Applied Math and Reading for Information assessments are
administered through traditional paper-based testing, and Writing uses an audio
presentation.
