Foundational skill levels are derived from ACT’s job profile database which includes over 22,000 job analyses for occupations across a diverse array of industries and occupations. Foundational skill levels are presented for three WorkKeys® cognitive skills – Workplace Documents, Applied Math, and Graphic Literacy for selected groups of targeted occupations over the next 8‐ 10 years. These three skills have been consistently identified as important for success in a broad range of jobs.
