CASAS — Your Education Partner

CASAS PresidentPatricia Rickard

CASAS is an educational research organization and test publisher that for more than 30 years has maintained its primary focus as adult education. CASAS works with schools and agencies across the states and internationally — linking assessment to instruction, maximizing instructor time with students, and reducing assessment costs.

WSCS informs employers as to potential employees’ skill proficiencies in reading, math, critical thinking and problem solving, and soft skills.

Assess work-related academic skills (using CASAS) and soft skills — personal qualities, work habits, and workplace attitudes — (using the Learning Resources, Inc. [LRI] online soft-skills assessment) to automatically generate a WSCS Certificate or Profile from TOPSpro Enterprise. The WSCS Profile serves as a tool for job seekers when meeting with potential employers and as a tool for educators to target instruction.

Requirements for WSCS implementation: CASAS eTests Online (Page 6), TOPSpro Enterprise (Page 7), purchase of WSCS Soft Skills Assessment licenses (one per student), and WSCS training (Page 28).
