Job Profiling Guide. Results of 1995 Job Profiling Part of the Ohio Vocational Competency Assessment (OCVA) Package.
Ohio State Univ., Columbus. Vocational Instructional Materials Lab.
This document presents results of job profiling workshops conducted as part of the Ohio Vocational Competency Assessment (OVCA) program. The first section describes how representatives of business, industry, labor, and community organizations identified academic skill levels needed by entry-level workers in the occupational areas covered by the Occupational Competency Analysis Profiles (OCAPs). It discusses the two assessment components of the OVCA package: the OCAP, which assesses students' occupational skills, and Work Keys, which measure students' applied academic skills. The second section describes the skills needed to achieve each level for each of the seven Work Keys academic skills: applied mathematics, locating information, reading for information, applied technology, listening, writing, and teamwork. The third section provides results of the 1994-1995 job profiling for 39 occupations. For every occupational area, shaded graphs represent each Work Keys academic skill. Each graph shows the range of levels for that particular skill; the shading represents the academic skill level required by an entry-level worker in that occupation, as determined by the job profiling committee. A job profiling results summary chart is provided. (YLB)
