Practical Assessment Exploration System
PAES is a research-based assessment system that identifies aptitude for community-based employment, functional skills, interests, work behavior strengths, and possible barriers to success. The PAES Lab converts a classroom into a work development lab for students to transition into the role of an employee.
PAES lab has FIVE Components
- Computer Technology
- Construction / Industrial
- Processing / Production
- Consumer / Services
- Business Marketing
By participating in PAES Lab, students learn work-related problem-solving skills, the development of soft skills (ex: respecting personal space or appropriate work conversations) to ensure proper work behavior, insights into job skills and real-work settings, and an understanding of their own learning and training styles, which is beneficial when seeking future employment.
