Hello [Insert name],

Naviance has added a new assessment available to our students called AchieveWorks® Skills. This tool will support us in working with students to learn about skills they need to not only be successful in school but also in the workplace. It identifies for students their top aptitudes and soft skills, how they can be built over time, and which employment and career opportunities best suit them.

The AchieveWorks® Skills assessment centers on five key measurements:

• Conscientiousness
• Creativity
• Critical Thinking
• Leadership
• Social Emotional

This assessment is designed to be given to students in grades 10-12 and takes less than 20 minutes to complete. It pairs well with our efforts [Insert how the assessment ties into your scope and sequence or CCLR efforts]. Students can log in to Naviance Student and find AchieveWorks® Skills in the Self- Discovery section.

We are excited to have this tool available because it gives students a first-hand understanding of the skills they possess and those they need to acquire to be successful in their career goals.

If you have time, check out the assessment using your demo student in Naviance. From Naviance Student, navigate to Self-Discovery and select Skills.
