WorkKeys Instructional Solutions... Still Confusing after all these years

I had a call just a while ago from a very nice lady asking about WorkKeys.  She was confused because of some names that she read on some documents that she received.  That lead her to believe that a particular instructional material and WorKKeys were one in the same.  This can be a little deceptive.  I am pretty sure it wasn’t intentional on anyone’s part...just add a little confusion and see if we don’t get some business from it.  Well, as I try to set the record straight again.  ACT is the sole producer of WorkKeys...other folks produce curriculum.  So...if it’s curriculum you’re after...good solid instructional material, the take the Pepsi Challenge folks, put KeyTrain side by side with anything and see for yourself.  Better yet, Ask for a evaluation program and put some students through them and see the results.  Students quickly move levels in KeyTrain.  Students respond negatively to others.  Why spend good money on something Students won’t benefit from or may not even use.  Oh well, enough venting for a Friday...have a great weekend.
