CareerReady Colorado Certificate
Certificate Levels
The CareerReady Colorado certificate is available in three levels:
Bronze, Silver and Gold. 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.
