The Employability Assessment Instrument, third in a series of six, is designed to measure a student's level of employability in relation to 55 community jobs selected as part of Project Employability (Ohio), a program designed to meet the employability needs of low functioning educable and high functioning trainable mentally retarded high school students. The instrument contains the following components: student profile to measure current level of functioning in 21 employability skills, criterion referenced checklist with operational definitions for each of 10 levels of performance for the 21 employability skills, job entry level profile which indicates the minimum level of performance expected for success in a specific community job, and job entry level statistics. The Employability Assessment Instrument determines a student's level of performance, predicts a student's expected degree of success for each of 55 selected community jobs, and determines the general cluster of jobs in which a student may achieve success.
