Attention Seniors, Parents & Legal Guardians:
February 27 or 28, your child will take an assessment called Locating Information. This assessment will be offered during the time block your child attends GAVC. Our intent with this assessment is to help your child obtain a National Career Readiness Certificate. The certificate is being recognized by future employers more and more in today's workforce.
The Locating Information test is one of three WorkKeys assessments used with the National Career Readiness Certificate. It measures the skill people use when they work with workplace graphics. Examinees are asked to find information in a graphic or insert information into a graphic. They also must compare, summarize, and analyze information found in related graphics.
The skill people use when they locate, synthesize, and use information from workplace graphics such as charts, graphs, tables, forms, flowcharts, diagrams, floor plans, maps, and instrument gauges is a basic skill required in today's workforce.
