Adair County High School shines on Work Keys Exam National Career Readiness Certification is crucial to becoming a Work Ready Community. Click on headline for complete, detailed story including list of 22 outstanding students who have earned the Gold Certificate By Shamarie Harper Adair County High School is proud to announce continued growth and success on the recent Work Keys assessment. The Class of 2016 posted a 54% increase in the number of students meeting and exceeding the benchmark score in comparison to the previous year. A total of 154 students in the Class of 2016 met or exceeded the benchmark score. Additionally, for the first time ever ACHS was able to assess and certify an additional 78 of the preparatory underclassmen enrolled in career and technical education programs at Adair County High School. The ACT Work Keys is a job skills assessment system designed to help employers select, hire, train, develop, and retain a high-performance workforce. Students are required to take a series of tests on Reading for Information, Applied Mathematics, and Locating Information to obtain a National Career Readiness Certificate. The Work Keys assessment measures foundational skills needed for workplace success and global competitiveness. Successful completion of the ACT Work Keys assessments leads to earning ACT's National Career Readiness Certificate. An 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 certification in their hiring practices. The total number of National Career Readiness Certificate in the community is also an integral part of the community's journey to achieve a Work Ready Community designation. ACHS would like to honor the following students who earned a gold certificate on the Work Keys. These students received a score of 5 or higher exceeding the benchmark score of 4 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. GOLD CERTIFICATE
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. 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 NCRC Work Keys certificate to be designated career ready under the accountability model in Kentucky. - Shamarie Harper is Adair County Schools Media - PR /Technology Resourse Teacher/Migrant Recruiter This story was posted on 2016-05-10 06:03:34
