Hobart High School Volume 4, Issue 4 December 2012 Page 1 SCHOOL CITY OF HOBART The School City of Hobart does not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, sex, color, national origin, religion, age, The Importance of the WorkKeys Assessment The ACT WorkKeys exams are the foundation of the National Career Readiness System. Students can earn a National Career Readiness Certificates by taking three WorkKeys exams. The three exams include: Applied Mathematics, Locating Informa- tion, and Reading for Information. Based on scores, students earned leveled certifi- cates of Platinum, Gold, Silver, or Bronze. The ACT WorkKeys estimates that people scoring at the Bronze level qualify for approximately 35% of the jobs profiled by WorkKeys. A Silver score indicates skills for approximately 65% of those jobs pro- filed, and Gold indicates skills for 90% of the jobs. States including Indiana use WorkKeys to prepare students for the workforce. The WorkKeys assessment provides great information no matter the career or college a student may choose after high school.

The senior students for the PLTW Biomedical Science course set out to research and determine the most impending limitations most U.S ER's face today and develop strategies and innovations to overcome these. As part of their process, they toured St. Mary's Medical Center Emergency Room and learned first hand from hospital personnel. They also pre- sented specific scenarios and layouts to the Hobart EMT class to draw from their experiences in the ER. The next phase was to create a computer gener- ated blueprint with the help of Mr. Vermeulen's PLTW- Civil Engineering and Architecture students. The two classes communicated via Google Docs to establish parameters and necessary equipment. The CEA students were able to put their new skills with Autodesk Revit, a computer modeling program, to design each room and turn an idea into an actual visual reality.
