ACT Workkey / Connecting Credentials Integration Pilot

In early 2017 ACT® and the Corporation for a Skilled Workforce developed a joint project to explore the possibility of a connection between ACT WorkKeys® competencies and the beta Connecting Credentials Framework. This paper is the summary of the findings, including a major product of the project: a crosswalk between WorkKeys and the beta Connecting Credentials Framework. The crosswalk can be used in conjunction with the Framework to (1) determine entry-level WorkKeys scores required for developed programs of study whose learning outcomes have been profiled using the Framework, and (2) connecting the ACT® WorkKeys® National Career Readiness Certificate® [NCRC®] to other credentials that have been profiled using Framework.
