Individuals throughout the community can earn a Work Keys certificate. The Work Keys certificates are available to all adults within the state of Georgia through the Technical College system, specifically at Athens Technical College. These skills assessments quantify the individual’s abilities in the areas of Reading for Information, Locating Information, and Applied Mathematics. Completion of this assessment will “certify” that individual at a skill level that corresponds to their score on the assessment. This skill level can be evaluated by potential employers to determine if the candidate possesses the skills necessary to perform the job.
Approximately 1,000 Oconee County residents earned a Work Keys certificate through this initiative.
