Last year, O’Rourke won a state award for his business plan to manufacture and market ski goggles with a built-in GPS system. Following his presentation, O’Rourke received requests for additional information about his project from teachers in Nevada, Michigan, Georgia, Arizona and North Carolina!

Dr. Jeff McDaris will give a report on WorkKeys, an assessment system that measures real world marketplace skills. The system is designed to help employers in identifying the characteristics needed for success in a particular career field or position and also to help prospective employees determine additional skills and education they may need for their desired career or position. As part of the Tech Prep Grant, Transylvania high school students who complete a career pathway in CTE will have the opportunity to complete a WorkKeys assessment. A summary is attached. More information on the WorkKeys system is available at http://www.act.org/activity/autumn2008/wkconf.html.
