What is WorkKeys?

WorkKeys is a system for measuring the Writing and Communication skills required in the everyday workplace.

The program helps to improve America's workforce by sharpening the skills of current or future employees. This system benefits individuals by providing a common language for describing basic skills needed for jobs.

Virginia requires students to pass the English Reading, Language and Literature (RLR), as well as either the Writing SOL or its alternative, in order to verify English 11 for a standard diploma. Hampton City Schools, working in conjunction with the Workforce Development Division of Thomas Nelson Community College, will provide WorkKeys to seniors as an alternative to the English 11 Writing SOL test. It is a comprehensive, computer-based, easy-to-use program that provides pre-testing and lessons with periodic quizzes to enable students to determine when they are prepared to test.
