View CareerReady Colorado Certificate Information
The CareerReady Colorado certificate is available in four levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. To earn a certificate, a job seeker must pass WorkKeys assessments in Applied Mathematics, Locating Information, and Reading for Information.
WorkKeys is a nationally-recognized skills assessment tool developed by ACT Inc., the college testing company. (Other tools will be explored for use as possible additions to the Colorado work readiness certification process as needed in the future).
Individuals who are not ready to pass WorkKeys assessments may take free, online training to improve their skills. KeyTrain is an ACT-approved training program designed to prepare individuals to pass the WorkKeys assessments. KeyTrain is available in most Colorado workforce centers, and job seekers may use it at no cost to help them reach certification goals.
