Course Description:
This course is designed to teach, refresh, and practice the skills associated with the applied technology used in the typical workplace, as outlined by ACT’s WorkKeys system. The lessons in this course are organized according to increasing levels of skill as described by the WorkKeys system. In Technology Foundations the skills are grouped into four areas: Electricity, Mechanics, Fluid Dynamics and Thermodynamics. Each area of the course contains lessons for each of the skill levels in that area. Each lesson in this course corresponds to the skills needed to demonstrate proficiency at one WorkKeys skill level.
