The Workkeys, but out of context.
CANT WAIT TO CRAM ALL THESE STANDARDIZED TESTS UP MY ASS
When did certifications become as important as education? It’s been a quarter-century journey
WorkKeys, the ACT-built workforce readiness test, has been around in various formats for nearly a quarter-century.
But every few months, it seems, someone else discovers the exam — and treats it a bit like something new.
That’s in no small part because ACT appears to be quite content with the very slow and steady growth of the test, and the credential it produces — the National Career Readiness Certificate, also known as a CRC. It hasn’t over-boasted and hasn’t over-promised. It’s just provided a solid certification process, and even improved upon it year after year for decades.
WorkKeys was, in many ways, an idea ahead of its time. And like many other ideas about how to best measure proficiency — from high school diplomas to SATs — it’s now become less of a value-added proposition and far more of a standard. More than 3 million certificates have been issued across the nation, and that number is weighted heavily toward younger workers, who are increasingly likely to have been introduced to the test in high school.
That doesn’t mean that WorkKeys is not longer valuable — it most certainly is — but it’s also not the differentiator it once was. A person who might have stood out for their possession of a Gold-level CRC several years ago might only be one of several people with that certification on his or her résumé today.
But WorkKeys has set the stage for a professional world that increasingly sees certifications as just as important — if not in some cases more important — as education itself. And just as someone with multiple degrees might have looked appealing to an employer in the past, a person with multiple certifications will look more appealing today.
My mom is going to go to class with me Thursday.
So excited.
Today is my WorkKeys Career Readiness Certification test day!
WELL I am not super happy. I was supposed to take the ACT WorkKeys test today because some job announcements say it's a preference in candidates so I figured it can't hurt. I mean, it's a completely stupid test and I should have already demonstrated everything that test is supposed to demonstrate by having GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL but whatever.
Anyway, I was supposed to take it today, but nooooooo, the lady at the community college CANCELED. LESS THAN THREE HOURS BEFORE I WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE THE TEST.
I hate standardized testing and I hate the fact that I'm supposed to be taking a standardized test to prove I'm not a completely incompetent human being and I hate the fact that apparently these people didn't take the test to prove that because if they were competent they wouldn't have overbooked or whatever their bogus excuse was.
Ugh.
