New this year for Juniors is the WIN Learning Assessment which, which has replaced the ACT Workkeys. Similar to the Workkeys, WIN measure foundational career readiness in Work Ready Math, Reading, and Data.

Skills include obtaining and applying new vocabulary; following complex instructions; and understanding policies and procedures. 60 Minute Test

Work Ready Data builds analytical skills to prepare learners to interpret sources of data in the workplace, such as charts, graphs, tables, flowcharts, diagrams, and maps.
