Skills USA Workforce Field Test

MITEC needs your help: Skills USA is in the process of updating the standards they use for all of their technical competitions.

In addition to updating the standards to be used in their competitions, they are creating standardized exams in each of the technical areas they deal with which are based on these new standards.

These exams are interactive and represent a real change in the way multiple-choice exams work. The exams can be used as final assessments at the completion of a marine tech training program, or as a pre-hire assessment tool or perhaps as a tool to establish what on-going training an existing employee may need.

We need marine industry teachers and students to register and try this exam. It’s free, and it will give you great insight into what the expectations are for new hires within the industry. Within about 24 hours of registering, you will receive a special password and access key. At that point, you will be able to take the entire exam.

To register — and have access to the beta-test exam – go to the Skills USA website work force ready page.

Thanks in advance for participating,

Ed Sherman

MITEC Professional Development Division Chair.
