1 01/1/200 8:2 AM Alabama College System Career/Technical Education Program ACT WorkKeys Target Levels Recommended Use of WorkKeys Assessments in Career/Technical Education ACT WorkKeys assessment targets indicate the levels of applied academic and technological skills expected of full completers of certificate, diploma, or associate degree career/technical education programs. It is recommended that students entering these programs take the identified WorkKeys assessments, their scores be compared to the target levels, and individualized targeted instruction be provided based on the difference between scores and target levels. Students should be assessed again at program completion, and those scores recorded in their Alabama College System Credentials Document that is received upon graduation. WorkKeys scores can be used to better match individuals to jobs and to identify areas where further education and training are needed. Colleges can use scores and target levels as bases for curricula modification and individualized instruction. The Department of Postsecondary Education can use aggregate WorkKeys scores as indicators of the degree to which Workforce 21 imperatives are being achieved, to address accountability requirements in federal legislation, and to identify professional development needs. WorkKeys results provide information that is important in performance-based decision making. Target Levels Following are WorkKeys target levels for career/technical education programs in The Alabama College System. Target levels were identified through a modified Delphi procedure. The Delphi panels were comprised of industry representatives serving on career/technical education program advisory committees throughout The Alabama College System. Target levels were reviewed and approved by the WorkKeys Policies and Procedures Subcommittee, the Student Competency Assessment and Documentation Committee, and the Chancellor of The Alabama College System. Although WorkKeys job profiles, assessments, and targeted instruction are used in customized services for industry, the target levels in this document should not be interpreted as substitutes for job profiles.
