KeyTrain® software.
The

Readiness Certificate is
awarded in collaboration
with the South Carolina
Department of Commerce
and the WorkKeys
assessment system.
WorkKeys assessments are
managed by the American
College Testing Program
(ACT). Students were

skill areas identified
as essential for success
in any job. Those
skills are Applied Math,
