MATHEMATICS
FOR CONSTRUCTION & MAINTENANCE/INDUSTRIAL ELECTRICIAN APPRENTICES
This assessment has been developed to evaluate the academic skills that are necessary in the in-school portion of Apprenticeship Training for Construction and Industrial Electricians. The questions in this paper reflect the skills required for lessons, assignments and tests that the apprentices take. The Academic Skills Inventory, which forms the basis for this assessment, was taken from the “Evaluating Academic Readiness for Apprenticeship Training” (EARAT) test published by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU). The Literacy and Basic Skills (LBS) Learning Outcomes were used to create a list of specific communication skills that a Construction & Maintenance/Industrial Electrician apprentice needs.
The results of this evaluation are intended for use as a Counselling Tool to allow people to make informed career and preparatory training decisions.
