Career Ready 101 Purpose:
To provide a single system that combines all essential aspects of preparing a student or job seeker with the necessary knowledge and skills to identify, locate, obtain, and be trainable for the optimum career and/or job in their area, leading to a recognized national work readiness credential.
![Page 4: Globally Positioning Students for Life in the 21 st Century KeyTrain and Career Ready 101 are trademarks of Thinking Media. WorkKeys and the National Career.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5514c46e55034640138b5a53/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The Problem:
•How do we manage to address all of the common basic skills and workplace readiness issues?
•How do we reduce need for remediation of Reading and Math skills at the college level
•How do we document progress on these issues?
•How do we provide a credential that is useful to business and recognized nationwide?

The Solution:
Step 1:•Adopt metrics that can measure these skills
Step 2:•Use a system that can manage all aspects of improving these skills
Step 3:•Issue a credential that already has national acceptance and traction
![Page 7: Globally Positioning Students for Life in the 21 st Century KeyTrain and Career Ready 101 are trademarks of Thinking Media. WorkKeys and the National Career.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5514c46e55034640138b5a53/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
STEP 1: Creating Metrics
Finding a Solution: Metrics
Determine measurement systemTrack performance
Assessment, Training, Certification
Define Skills
The ideal metrics would be:
•Valid
•Reliable
•Based upon an agency that has a solid reputation

Training for College or Workplace?The needs of college and workplace-bound students are merging:
“Whether planning to enter college or workforce training programs after graduation, high school students need to be educated to a comparable level of readiness in reading and mathematics.”
- Ready for College and Ready for Work: Same or Different?, ACT, Inc.
• Nationally over half of college freshmen take at least one “remediation” course (usually math or reading)
• 2006 ACT performed a study that showed a direct correlation between WorkKeys score in Reading & Math level 5 & an ACT score of 21/22
• Most US colleges use an ACT score of 18 for the cutoff whether a student takes remediation
• Implication: K-12 students with a Gold Level CRC much less likely to take remedial studies in college
