Career Center Newsletter
January 2018
Thank you Grand Junction Lions Club
Seventeen local groups will benefit from the donations. Career Center was among the recipients. The Career Center will use their $5,000 to help pay for a digital marquee to go outside their school on North Avenue. "We are open to the community. We have a restaurant, a flower shop and many other programs. People come in, place orders and interact with our student body. A lot of people don't know that we're here. Every interaction that our students get to have with the community is a learning opportunity," said Jami Salyer, Assistant Principal, Career Center.

Benefits
ACT WorkKeys® Assessments are the cornerstone of ACT workforce solutions. The assessments measure foundational skills required for success in the workplace, and help measure the workplace skills that can affect job performance.
Each assessment offers varying levels of difficulty. The levels build on each other, incorporating the skills assessed at the previous levels. For example, at Level 5, individuals need the skills from Levels 3, 4, and 5. The complexity increases as the quantity and/or density of the information increases.
National Career Readiness Certificate
Individuals who successfully complete the three WorkKeys Assessments—Applied Math, Graphic Literacy, and Workplace Documents—earn the WorkKeys National Career Readiness Certificate® (WorkKeysNCRC®), a valuable credential for students and job seekers seeking to verify foundational workplace skills. ACT WorkKeys also offers additional assessments to measure interests, values, and behaviors that can lead to greater job satisfaction.
Required for the NCRC
The Applied Math assessment measures critical thinking, mathematical reasoning, and problem solving techniques for situations that actually occur in today’s workplace.
Workplace graphics come in a variety of formats, but all communicate a level of information. From charts to graphs, diagrams to floor plans, identifying what information is being presented and understanding how to use it are critical to success.
The Graphic Literacy assessment measures the skill needed to locate, synthesize, and use information from workplace graphics
