Governor's Council for Workforce and Economic Development
Begins WorkKeys Program in Oklahoma

Within today's global economy, finding and keeping a job requires higher skill levels than ever before. Employers want workers with documented skills based on the "real world" of any work place from a welding shop to a hospital.The Governor's Council for Workforce and Economic Development (GCWED) and many of its partner agencies rolled out a system of assessment and certification designed to meet the needs of both employees and employers.The program involves the following:

A career-readiness certificate program with a portable credential documenting that potential or incumbent employees possess certain fundamental skills required by employers here and across the country.Use nationally recognized assessments to measure skills  and provide a common language between educators, businesses, and community members.

Use the assessment system to validate the skills and skill levels of job seekers and compare them to the skills needed for jobs in today's economy.

To date, the initiative involves the assessment of over 60,000 potential and incumbent employees and hundreds of pre-assessment, assessment, and training sites across the state.
