Job
Profiling is a job analysis system that helps businesses identify
the skills and skill levels employees must have to perform
particular jobs effectively. It also gives individuals a clear
picture of the skill levels they need to qualify for and be
successful in the jobs they want.
Grant funds
are available to help businesses use WorkKeys Job Profiling.
A company
may apply for a grant up to $1500 to be used towards the cost of a
job profile. The grant will be paid to the WorkKeys Testing Center
performing the job profile. The company must match the grant with at
least $500. Each company may apply for up to 2 job profiles.
To apply,
send a letter to the Governor's Office of Workforce Development
(address below) on official letterhead. The letter should state how
the company plans to use WorkKeys and the Alabama Career Readiness
Certificate, the position (s) the company would like to job profile,
and the amount of funding requested.
Once
approved, the Governor's Office of Workforce Development will work
with the company to locate a job profiler in their area.
