For more than 30 years, in each decade since the 1980s, hundreds of employers throughout the Commonwealth have been interviewed or surveyed to determine the most essential workplace skills for entry-level workers.
The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE), in collaboration with the Demographics Research Group of the Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service at the University of Virginia, is pleased to share the current summary research report--Framework for the Future: Workplace Readiness Skills in Virginia (February 2019)This link takes you out of the Virginia Department of Education website (PDF) with school divisions. The purpose of this research was to evaluate Virginia’s 21 Workplace Readiness Skills to make certain they aligned with the needs of employers to better prepare students to enter the workforce and be successful in their chosen careers. As a result, all CTE courses are now updated to reflect the revised 21st Century Workplace Readiness Skills. More information about this current research is available through the VDOE’s 2019-2020 Training Series for administrators. Here is the main answer. The WRS measures general career readiness skills and satisfies Virginia's requirement for a CTE credential for graduation with a Standard diploma. Hope this helps! Mark brainliest please! Have a good night/day!
