Abstract
The technological advancements and globalization of the 21st century require employees and job seekers to possess the employability skills necessary for success in a competitive job market. Studies have shown that WorkKeys(r) offers a method of assessing the employability skills of current and potential employees. Employers, citing cost, time, and reliability factors, are hesitant to provide training for employees demonstrating WorkKeys(r) deficiencies. This study investigates the relationship between the WIN Courseware, an employability skills training resource, and WorkKeys(r) scores of community college students enrolled in career technical programs of study. Linear regression equations were derived to determine if students' WorkKeys(r) scores in Applied Mathematics, Reading for Information, and Locating Information could be predicted from their WIN Courseware completion levels in the respective subjects. Resulting from this study, a method for reliably predicting Applied Mathematics and Reading for Information WorkKeys(r) scores from WIN Courseware completion levels was obtained. Confidence intervals for these two WorkKeys(r) assessments were calculated to offer a range of predicted scores based on WIN Courseware completion levels. The linear regression equation for Locating Information WorkKeys(r) scores and WIN Courseware was not statistically significant.
