Ability to Benefit (ATB) Policy and Procedure
The assessment center administers a variety of academic and career/technical assessments for the purpose of placing students in academic and career/technical programs.
To be in compliance with federal regulations, Emily Griffith Technical College requires ATB testing of all students who indicate a career/technical objective and who do not possess a high school diploma or GED.
The ATB assessment instrument we use is the ACCUPLACER--specifically the Reading Comprehension, Arithmetic, and Sentence Skills portions of the test.
WorkKeys Assessment System
The WorkKeys Assessment System is used nationally as a comprehensive method for measuring, communicating and improving the common skills required for success and advancement in the workplace. Skills are quantitatively assessed in individuals, to help demonstrate the competencies employers are requesting of job applicants. Businesses can use the information to make hiring, job training, and promotion decisions.
WorkKeys is the assessment of choice for both the CareerReady Colorado Certificate and the National Career Readiness Certificate. The individual who takes the WorkKeys is eligible to receive the National Career Readiness Certificate upon completion of the test, and can qualify for the CareerReady Colorado Certificate. CareerReady Colorado is a state certificate that certifies job seeker skills. The certification creates common, objective standards for employment readiness and establishes meaningful skill criteria for workforce partners.
The certificate is measures skills in Reading for Information, Applied Mathematics, and Locating Information. There are four levels of achievement : the Bronze Level recipient has the necessary foundation skills for 35% of the jobs in the work place, a Silver Level recipient has the necessary foundation skills for 65% of the jobs in the work place, and a Gold Level recipient has the necessary basic skills for 90% of the jobs in the work place. A Platinum Level recipient has the highest level of skills measurable by this assessment.
