The WorkKeys job analysis system can help you identify the best applicants for open positions. You can use WorkKeys to spot potential weaknesses or existing training gaps that may prevent your company from competing effectively in your changing market. The ACT WorkKeys analysis program is a cost-effective way to determine what you need from your employees, and which applicants have what it takes.

Who is already using WorkKeys?
Several local employers in SW Washington including Steelscape, Best Built Products, Equa-Chlor, Cowlitz PUD, Emerald Kalama Chemical, NORPAC, and Weyerhaeuser, along with the Longview School District and Lower Columbia College, already use some form of the WorkKeys assessments to hire and/or promote and develop training goals for their employees or students.

LCC Business & Industry Service will work with you to create a custom WorkKeys assessment program for your business or organization.

What is a Workplace Skills Certificate?
You can take advantage of the new region-wide Workplace Skills Certificate, developed by Lower Columbia College Business & Industry Service, in partnership with the Kelso-Longview Chamber of Commerce and the Cowlitz Economic Development Council.

By taking the WorkKeys skill assessments local job seekers can earn a certificate showing they have the reading, writing, math, teamwork, listening and other skills for the job.
