WorkKeys
Lake Michigan College is regarded as the regional expert for WorkKeys, an innovative job profiling and testing program developed by ACT, the nationally recognized expert in educational assessments. Businesses use WorkKeys as a hiring and promotional tool and some Michigan paraprofessionals (teachers' aides) are required to take the assessments as part of the "No Child Left Behind" Act. Graduating high school seniors can use WorkKeys to qualify for the Michigan Merit Award. The deadline for 2007 graduating seniors to qualify using WorkKeys is June 30, 2007.
