WIN Ready to Work Testing
WIN Ready to Work is a workforce education and development tool, comprised of three proctored assessments, Applied Mathematics, Reading for Information, and Locating Information, leading to a work ready credential. It brings employers, learners/job-seekers, and education/workforce partners together in building a skilled workforce, while keeping and attracting businesses with higher-wage jobs and national economic growth.
More than 20 years of prevailing career readiness skills research consistently identifies mastery of core communication, reasoning, and problem-solving skills as required or highly recommended for most jobs across occupations and industries. The research further defines the standards for those core skills in terms of applied workplace math, workplace reading, and use of charts, graphs and similar workplace information. These are the standards that are the basis for the proctored assessments and earning the Ready to Work Certificate.
What skills do the assessments measure?
Certificates are awarded based on achievement of the Ready to Work Assessments
Applied Mathematics - Measures workplace mathematical reasoning and problem-solving skills from basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to multiple math functions like calculating percentage discounts and markups.
Reading for Information - Measures reading comprehension and reasoning skills when using written text on the job including memos, letters, directions, signs, notices, bulletins, policies and regulations.
Locating Information - Measures comprehension and application of workplace graphics such as charts, graphs, tables, forms, flowcharts, diagrams, floor plans, maps and instrument gauges.
When you register for the WIN assessment you will automatically be enrolled in the WIN Ready to Work Courseware. WIN Ready to Work Courseware (R2WC) provides learners with a placement test to identify current readiness levels in each of the modules, and to identify further training and education along their career path.
Based on placement test performance, an individual enters the learning module at a level appropriate for their skills and then progresses at their own pace. Learners show mastery of content by passing post-tests at the end of each module, earning eBadges, and eventually the certificates of completion.
The tests in the Ready to Work Courseware provide learners with a personalized profile of how prepared they are for a career path, and helps clarify their needs for further training and education. These tests also assure precise skills-based placement into further work on foundational skills. This allows learners to practice and engage in the work they have not yet mastered.
