What is an objective assessment?
Please refer to page 16 of RFP. During the recruitment and enrollment phase of a project, an objective assessment is required for disconnected youth. An objective assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of an individual to identify academic skills, abilities, aptitude, and interests. The assessment determines the plan and/or strategy for each participant. ACWIB does not mandate the type of assessment tools to use. But there are several state recognized approved testing instruments such as the Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE) or CASAS Survey Achievement Tests and/or ABLE. Also, there are new definitions of Certification and Training. A certificate of training must be awarded by: -State educational or vocational and technical educational agency. -Institution of Higher Education. -Registered apprenticeship program -Office of Job Corps. Certificate of training does not include certificates in recognition for generic work readiness skills.
