Testing Information

The ACT WorkKeys is a nationally recognized assessment that measures essential workplace skills, including applied mathematics, graphic literacy, and workplace documents. These skills are critical for career success and provide a standardized way to evaluate a candidate’s readiness for technical programs. At Collins Career Technical Center, we use the WorkKeys assessment as an entrance exam for many of our adult education programs. Applicants must score in each subject area to qualify for their chosen program. The required scores vary by program and are listed in the table below. This ensures students have the foundational skills to succeed in their coursework and future careers.
