ACHS has excellent Work Keys Assessment for 2015 16 students at Adair County High School earn Gold Certificates; 92 students from Class of 2015 earn Silver Level Certificates By Robin Loy News from Adair County School District Adair County High School would like to announce the results of the recent Work Keys assessment for the Class of 2015. The ACT Work Keys is a job skills assessment system designed to help employers select, hire, train, develop, and retain a high-performance workforce. ACHS would like to honor the following students who earned a gold certificate on the Work Keys. Kyndal Caldwell, Hannah Cockheram, Brittany Curry, Tyler Durham, Dylan Franklin, Andrew Grant, Mark Hutcherson, Cody Janes, Brittany McFarland, Sarah McQuaide, Anna Murrell, Jordan Nixon, Emily Overstreet, Will Partin, Chad Scholl, Jessi Taylor, Amber Turner, Destiny WrightThe students above received a score of 5 or higher on all three sections of the test which indicates that they have the skills necessary for 93% of jobs available in the Work Keys database. Ninety-two students from the Class of 2015 earned silver level certificates. The Work Keys assessment measures foundational and soft skills needed for workplace success and global competitiveness. Successful completion of the ACT Work Keys assessments in the areas of Applied Mathematics, Locating Information, and Reading for Information leads to earning ACT's National Career Readiness Certificate. NCRC is a portable credential earned by more than 1 million people across the United States. Employers are increasingly using the Work Keys and NCRC in their hiring practices. Students at this level scored 4 or higher on all three sections of the assessment. Silver level status is the benchmark score required to earn the distinction of career readiness under the Unbridled Learning Accountability System in Kentucky. (http://education.ky.gov/comm/ul/Pages/default.aspx). Additionally, twenty students earned bronze level certificates. To learn more about the NCRC certification you can go to http://www.act.org/certificate/about.html Students who are preparatory in a career path, meaning that they are enrolled in or have completed their third course in an approved career pathway in Career and Technical Education, are required to pass the Kentucky Occupational Skills Assessment or earn an industry certificate in that pathway in addition to their Work Keys certificate to be designated as career ready under the accountability model in Kentucky. The Work Keys National Career Readiness Certification is an integral part of the community’s journey to achieve the designation of Work Ready Community. This story was posted on 2015-05-21 04:22:07
