Choosing an Attorney
Choosing an attorney who can efficiently help with your
particular problem may not be easy. Don’t expect to locate
a good lawyer by simply looking in the phone book or
reading an advertisement. There’s not enough information
in these sources to help you make a valid judgment. In fact,
your particular problem might not even need an attorney.
This class, taught by an attorney, is an opportunity to learn
how to make your best choice. The class will begin with a
presentation and end with a Q & A session where you can
ask about your particular needs.

An Innovative Approach to Job Analysis,
Assessment and Training
WorkKeys® is a job skills assessment system that helps employers select, hire, train, develop, and retain a
high-performance workforce.
For businesses, the results are:
• Better hiring decisions
• More fulfilled and qualified employees
For employees, the result is:
• An improved bottom line
• Reduced turn over, training costs and overtime
• Career success!
For individuals, the result is:
• Documented workplace skills
The three major components of WorkKeys® include:
1. Job Profiling - determining the basic skills required for individual jobs and occupational careers
2. Assessment - measuring the basic skills that individuals can apply to workplace situations
3. Training - curriculum guidelines from ACT designed to improve an individual’s skills so that they can
be successful in jobs of their choice
The WorkKeys® assessment identifies skill levels in:
• Applied Math
• Locating Information
• Reading for Information
These skills are highly desirable in the workplace, both for new hires and existing employees. Depending on the
WorkKeys® assessment score, applicants earn a National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC) in one of four
levels: bronze, silver, gold or platinum. The NCRC is a portable credential earned by more than 1 million people
across the United States. If scores need improvement first, the program provides a remedial path to accomplish
that. “Preferring” applicants who have the NCRC has proven to be an effective tool to assist with the screening
and hiring process.
Other assessment resources are available in software applications and mechanical aptitude. Call us for more
details. WorkKeys® is available at www.workkeys.com
