Our Testing and Assessment tools used at Project ARRIBA are fundamental to the enrollment process. Currently we make use of two nationally known instruments that assess an assortment of academic, dexterity, temperament, and job interest data. These tools empower the Case Manager to accurately determine and recommend appropriate long-term job training. Applicants taking the Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE) are given a battery of academic tests to measure their level of Reading, Writing, English, and Math Skills. Applicants taking the System Assessment for Group Evaluation (SAGE) test are given an assortment of assessments to evaluate an individuals temperament, job interests and manual dexterity. The SAGE also evaluates a persons academic level in Reading, English and Math.
The TABE test is an academic test that measures a persons grade level in reading, mathematics, and language. We evaluate TABE scores for minimum entry requirements. Those that do not qualify are referred elsewhere to raise their academic skills.
All applicants enrolling with Project ARRIBA must take the TABE test.
