Score Comparison Activity
We will discuss how your scores on the three assessments compare to minimum suggested scores for different occupations. I have put your WorkKeys Score Reports in a Shared Google Drive folder that I created for you. The folder on the Shared Drive has your first and last name and AlvaCC2023. Can you access the Shared Google Drive folder I created? If not ask me for assistance. I have added a file named WorkKeys Completion Assignment to the shared folder I created for you. If you can’t open your Google Drive folder then click here – http://nwtech.edu/alvacc/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/WorkKeys-Completion-Assignment.docx – to download the file. Open the file using Google Docs then complete the requested information. Ask questions if you need assistance. When you have completed the WorkKeys Completion Assignment, print one copy and put it in sheet protectors in your black notebook on the shelves. –
