CAD/CAM Employability Profiles

Work Skills Employability Profile

The work skills employability profile is intended to document student attainment of technical knowledge, work-related skills, endorsements and licenses. The work skills employability profile will be designed to connect with a student’s career plan and goals. Validation of skills reported on the profile would include an employer/teacher review based on learning standards and expectations in the workplace. On an ongoing basis through their CTE program, as students successfully complete course/sequence requirements and meet industry standards based on a technical assessment, their knowledge and skills would be documented on a work skills employability profile.

Developed at the local district/BOCES, profiles would document work-based skills acquired throughout the high school experience. A work skills employability profile would provide important information to post secondary educators, military recruiters and employers. The completed profile could go onto the students online portfolio website.

As an aside, I am not completely happy with my profile. I want to pair it down and make it a little more manageable and useful. I added every possible section of every unit plan, and it is too much.
