Employability Lab

This course provides employability skills training for unemployed and underemployed adults.  The curriculum framework is based on a specific job goal (Career Readiness Certification).  Students will take the KeyTrain pre-tests, and then will work on the online skill-building lessons to prepare for success in taking the WorkKeys assessments in Reading for Information, Applied Mathematics, and Locating Information.  Students who would like to take the WorkKeys assessment will need to sign up for one of the scheduled WorkKeys sessions.  (These sessions are not part of the Employability Lab’s schedule).  This course may be linked either at the beginning of ending of an occupational course.

NOTE:  This course is open-entry/open-exit during the lab operating hours.  Also, students cannot be enrolled in two lab sessions at one time.
