Technology & Workforce Division
The workplace is changing and so are the skills that students must have
to find a "smart job." Workforce 2000 (Hudson Institute) identifies a growing need for increased workplace skills for the United States to remain
a global competitor in the marketplace.
The 21st Century is bringing new demands on existing and new employees entering the workforce. The Technology and Workforce Division programs
reflect an effort to prepare students with skills and competencies that employers want.
AREAS OF CONCENTRATION
There are specific degree and course requirements for associate degrees. Contact the
Technology & Workforce Division office at 936-633-5246 or cbrewerangelina.edu for information

Information
Assessment Requirements:
-
Associate Degrees: THEA Required
-
Level 1 Certificates: THEA, Work Keys or
Accuplacer
-
Students enrolled in courses of the programs
offered by the division must be assessed for basic workforce skills.
THEA or Work Keys is required for all Level 1 Certificates. Exemptions
from the Work Keys assessment are the same as for THEA. Students who
do not meet the workforce basic skill levels are strongly advised to
enroll in a workforce basic skill course(s).
Enrollment in a workforce basic skill course is not mandatory; however, a
Work Keys score in reading of level 5 is considered minimum for success in
each program.
The American College Testing process using the Work Keys System
established workforce basic skills levels for the occupations. The Work Keys
levels of mathematics vary among individual programs.
Consult with your adviser for the required level of mathematics in your degree plan. A Work
Keys score of Level 5 (TASP 230) in reading and locating information is considered minimum level for success in each program.
Work Keys assessing must be taken prior to enrollment. Assessments are
given in the Workforce Skills Lab in the Technology and Workforce Development Center in Room 139. Schedules for assessment will be posted in
the college semester schedule.
Angelina College is accredited by the Texas Higher Education Board and the
Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
