  • Smart Start Pathway SSP 1002
    SSP 1002 – Smart Start Pathway. Students will enroll in the MS Works system and learn three components within the pathway: Career Awareness, Necessary Skills, and Basic Skills. They will develop the foundational skills needed for their careers, learn and practice good work habits and effective communication that is necessary in successful employment. Students will learn how to become prepared to learn new skills for future careers within their region’s workforce sector, identifying the career components that are necessary for middle-skill employment. Students will complete the WorkKeys® assessment in Workplace Documents, Applied Math, and Graphic Literacy which allows students to quantify the foundational skills needed to perform job tasks successfully and enables students to demonstrate they have these skills. Upon completion of this assessment, students will earn a National Career Readiness Certificate, a credential issued by ACT that documents work readiness.
