Yokohama fires 5% of West Point workforce over counterfeit training certificates

https://www.wcbi.com/fraudulent-work-certificates-yokohama/

An investigation is underway to determine how some job applicants at at least one local manufacturing plant obtained apparently fake WorkKeys development course certificates.

Yokohama Tire in West Point is one of the companies who made hires based on fraudulent WorkKeys certificates.

WorkKeys is a job training program many companies use to determine the aptitude of potential hires.

A spokesman for Yokohama confirms there have been some employee separations over the past few days based on the use of the counterfeit certificates.
