A Collaboration Between MERIC and ACT
The merging of WorkKeys® skill scores and Missouri occupational projections data represents a landmark collaborative effort between ACT and MERIC.
WorkKeys® is a national workforce development system that compares a worker's skills with the skills required to successfully perform a specific job. Scores are provided for three different core skill sets. Visit the ACT website for more information about these skill sets: www.act.org/workkeys/assess/
A combination of these three scores determines the level of Missouri career readiness certification for an individual:
Gold - scores at least level 5 in each
Silver - scores at least level 4 in each
Bronze - score at least level 3 in eachThe skill levels provided for careers are estimated based on ACT's DISCOVER-based occupations populated with WorkKeys® job analyses using samples of convenience, O*Net occupational data, and the recommendations of expert raters.
