The State Board of Education is required by General Statute §115C-174.25, “to plan for and require local school administrative units to make available the appropriate WorkKeys tests for all students who complete a concentration in career and technical education courses.” The ACT WorkKeys assessment is given free of charge to all North Carolina students who are considered Career and Technical Education (CTE) concentrators. WorkKeys is part of North Carolina’s school accountability program.
The WorkKeys assessment is designed to measure students’ career readiness as they prepare to enter the workforce and allow them to demonstrate their abilities to potential employers using standardized, quantitative metrics. North Carolina administers the three WorkKeys assessments, Applied Math, Graphic Literacy, and Workplace Documents, that form the basis of the ACT® WorkKeys® National Career Readiness Certificate® (NCRC®).
Early College SENIORS will test on Tuesday, Nov 19th in the Learning Center on first floor of Ardmore (beside the library). Students should arrive by 8:45 with chrome book, picture ID (driver’s license or passport), an approved calculator (ACT Calculator Policy), snack and drink. Students should let Forsyth Tech professors know if they will miss class for that day and also work out how to make-up the work. Make-up date for ECF is Wednesday, Nov 20, 2024.
