KeyTrain is a tool utilized for students needing additional assistance to master the basic math and language skills required for basic workplace literacy.  Specifically, this series is intended to assist in the fundamental prerequisite skills that should be mastered before beginning the traditional KeyTrain curriculum series.  The system records a composite score in addition to the individual objective scores.
These objectives represent the individual components and building blocks required to learn and demonstrate basic math and reading skills. 

Clayton County Public Schools will offer interested seniors an opportunity to access a key tools that boost their  and prepares them for their journeys into post-secondary education and the workplace. 

The Georgia Work Ready Assessment gauges students' core skills in the areas of applied mathematics, reading for information and locating information. Based on their scores, they will receive a Work Ready Certificate and a wallet card that verifies their skill level to potential employers and demonstrates a commitment to success. They also will learn how to access an easy-to-manage online account, train in any skill areas where they would like to improve, and learn more about employment in various industries around the state.

Earning a Georgia Work Ready Certificate is the first stop on a student's career pathway and sets them on a course for life-long learning.  We are thrilled to offer the assessment at every high school and encourage you to promote the benefits of Work Ready to your senior classes as a complement to their high school diplomas and other professional and academic certifications and degrees. Work Ready administrators from local technical colleges will help us arrange for a speaker from the local Chamber of Commerce to visit our schools and address seniors. In addition, they will provide access to various promotional materials to raise awareness and attract the attention of our students.

Please see the attached presentation and handout for an in-depth overview of Get Work Ready Month. You can also visit the Work Ready Web site, www.gaworkready.org, for more information on the initiative.
