WorkKeys Profiles The basis of the WorkKeys
system is a profile conducted by a certified
WorkKeys profiler and 6-8 subject matter experts
(SMEs). There are two different types of profile
which are used in two significantly different
ways.   1.      Occupational Profile For an
occupational profile, the SMEs are selected each
from a different company but all perform the same
function (i.e. do the same job) within those
companies. The resulting profile is usually used
as the basis of a full competency analysis
profile (CAP) which is then used for the
development of a competency-based curriculum
(CBC) which results in an industry-validated
portable credential. The CAP takes two days to
develop. The CAP is used in conjunction with a
methodology such as the Wisconsin Instructional
Design System (WIDS) to develop the CBC. This
profile may NOT be used for hiring, promotions,
career ladders, training, etc.   2.      Job
Profile A job profile is conducted for a specific
job within a specific company. The SMEs must ALL
be doing the job at that company. The profile
consists of a determination of skill levels
required for each of the eight (or in some cases
fewer) WorkKeys skills areas, plus a
determination of the technical skill levels
required to do the job. The profile takes two
days. When combined with assessments of
potential or incumbent personnel, the profile may
be used within that company only for hiring,
promotions, career ladders, training, etc. A job
profile is legally defensible and EEOC compliant.
