College and Career Readiness is a one-semester (.5 credit) course. It is designed to provide the student with the necessary skills to evaluate fundamental employment-ready skills and what they need from education to be prepared to refine their choices through a decision-making process and master the skills most needed by 21st-century employers. The course is recommended to be taken the first semester of the senior year to allow counselors working with seniors to prepare for graduation and college preparation. Students will assess labor market information, personal academic and career ready potential, and make application to postsecondary institutions. This course will use the Career Ready 101 curriculum to prepare students to take the ACT WorkKeys assessments to earn the Arkansas Career Readiness Certificate.
