4 Nov	Webinar - Using WorkKeys to Strengthen IET Relevance and Support NRS Measurable Skill Gains Wednesday, Nov 4, 2026	Webinar - Using WorkKeys to Strengthen IET Relevance and Support NRS Measurable Skill Gains Event Details: Integrated Education and Training (IET) programs are most effective when instruction is relevant, contextualized, and aligned to workforce needs. This session will explore how ACT WorkKeys assessments can help adult education programs enhance IET relevance while supporting progress toward National Reporting System (NRS) performance goals. Participants will gain an overview of the ACT WorkKeys assessments and learn how they can be used alongside NRS-approved measurable skill gain options to provide learners with a more meaningful and career-focused experience. The session will also highlight that WorkKeys has been approved by OCTAE and published in the Federal Register through 2033 as an assessment option for adult education programs. Attendees will hear insights from a Spring pilot conducted by Brevard Adult and Community Education, including a practical IET implementation example. They will share firsthand experiences, lessons learned, and strategies for integrating WorkKeys within an IET framework. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of how WorkKeys can support career readiness, strengthen program relevance, and serve as a valuable measurable skill gain resource within IET programs.
