Workplace Readiness Skills
The Workplace Readiness Skills (WRS) assessment is a sixty-minute, one hundred-question examination. 75 percent is the standard of mastery. When a student graduates from high school, he or she receives a WRS Certification, which is highly-sought by potential employers. The Scott County School Board pays for each student's exam. Pricing is as follows: $10.00 for the WRS assessment, $10.00 for the WRS retake, and $7.00 for the WRS pretest.
Last semester, twelve Twin Springs students both tested and reached the 75 percent standard of mastery on the WRS assessment.
