Oklahoma high school students are now held accountable for several Oklahoma ICAP activities before they may graduate.  One of the requirements is students must complete at least one career and interest survey per year in grades 9-12.  I will be working with Alva High School in an effort to not have AHS students duplicate ICAP activities.  Mrs. Pettus and I plan on having AHS Freshmen complete the Career Clusters Interest Survey EZ Assessment. AHS Sophomores will complete the  Career Clusters Interest Survey EZ Assessment. AHS Juniors will complete the Career Clusters Interest Survey Assessment and the O*Net Interest Profiler Assessment.  AHS Seniors will complete the Career Cluster Interest EZ Assessment and O*Net Work Importance Locator Assessment.

Login to Virtual Job Shadow and complete the O*Net Work Importance Locator Assessment.  Students of the Northwest Tech Campus – Alva may access their user accounts at https://www.virtualjobshadow.com/login/AC5760/users/?. Students will most likely use the same username and password as used for WorkKeys assessments. Usernames (except for a few students) will be your FirstnameLastname. Your password will be a six digit number representing your birthdate such as 020503 if you were born on February 5, 2003. If you need assistance with your username and password, please let Mrs. Frascht know.  Usernames and passwords should be recorded in the Passwords Google Sheet I have provided in the Google Drive folder I have Shared with you for the Career Center.  AHS Students will use the same Virtual Job Shadow account at NWTC as they do at AHS.
