PrefaceMISSION STATEMENT

The mission of Business Professionals of America is to contribute to the preparation of a world-class workforce through the advancement of leadership, citizenship, academic, and technological skills.

WORKPLACE SKILLS ASSESSMENT PROGRAM PHILOSOPHYThe Workplace Skills Assessment Program is an integral part of Business Professionals of America. The goal of the program is to provide all business students with the opportunity to demonstrate workplace skills learned through business education curriculums. Students will:

demonstrate occupational competencies; broaden knowledge, skills, and attitudes; expand leadership and human relation skills; demonstrate a competitive spirit; and receive recognition.

CONTENTThe Guidelines contain general information for all events as well as specific details regarding eligibility, equipment use, scoring, etc. The information in the Guidelines is essential for members attending the National Leadership Conference.

PURPOSE AND USE OF THE GUIDELINESThe purpose of the Guidelines is to provide as much information as possible to help prepare students for a successful experience at the National Leadership Conference (NLC).

The Guidelines regulate all national Workplace Skills Assessment Events. State associations may choose to deviate from the guidelines provided. You are urged to check with your state association for any changes they may make at the regional or state levels.

Authors, administrators, proctors, and evaluators will strictly follow these guidelines.

ELIGIBILITYAccording to Board policy, “Only members whose dues have been postmarked to the National Center by February 15 are eligible for national competition.”

Advisors are able to verify national membership online or by contacting the National Center.

Be sure to check your state association membership deadline to ensure eligibility at the regional and state levels.

PLEASE MAKE THIS PUBLICATION AVAILABLE TO YOUR STUDENTS.

General GuidelinesEligibilityThe guidelines for each event indicate the number of contestants that a state may enter at the NLC. All entries for Workplace Skills Assessment events must be registered for the NLC through the state association. In order to compete in an event at the NLC, the individual or team must have competed in that event at the State Leadership Conference (SLC). Substitutions for team members are left to the discretion of the state advisor. Any special eligibility requirements are indicated in the event guidelines.

Number of Contests Secondary students may participate in a total of two events, only one of which may be a team

event. A student may compete in an unlimited number of open Workplace Skills Assessments within the time constraints of the conference program.

Post-secondary students may participate in a total of three events, only one of which may be a team event. A student may compete in an unlimited number of open Workplace Skills Assessments within the time constraints of the conference program.

Software Software to be used at the National Leadership Conference will be announced in the fall issue of the Local Advisor’s Bulletin and in the Pre-Conference Booklet published each winter. The “Events At-A-Glance” chart and each event guideline page list the equipment that may be used.

Event Length The length of events varies. Times are listed on the “Events At-A-Glance” chart as well as within the guidelines for each event.

Team Events/Chapter EventsTeam events are registered under the chapter name. In addition, each team member and the person(s) responsible for chapter entries must be indicated in event registration. (Remember that each student is limited to only one team event.)

Event Registration ChangesThe state advisor or state designee must report any change in the original event entrants to the Competitive Event Headquarters no later than the deadline designated in the conference program.

Event ReschedulingIf a student has a time conflict for an event, check with the Competitive Event Headquarters for the rescheduling procedure.

Use of MaterialsOnce contestants start an event, they may not share individual supplies and/or materials.

Workplace Skills Assessments/Contest Review Advisors may view the national Workplace Skills Assessments at the NLC after all testing has been completed. The Classroom Educators Advisory Council (CEAC) will supervise the area. Recommendation forms will be available and all tests must remain in the room. Refer to the NLC program for the exact time and location of this activity.

Merit ScholarAlthough this test is part of the Special Recognition Awards Program, it will be given at the same time as the open events. Any member or advisor attending the NLC may take this test on the activities, history, and programs of Business Professionals of America. Recognition is provided to all that achieve at least 85 percent. Guidelines are printed in the Special Recognition/Torch Awards Handbook.

ARMA Rules For those events including records management as a competency, Rules for Alphabetic Filing will be considered the authority. Refer to the Style & Reference Manual for excerpts of the ARMA rules. Complete guidelines may be ordered from the Association of Records Managers and Administrators, Inc., P.O. Box 8540, Prairie Village, KS 66208.

Proofreader’s Marks Standardized proofreader’s marks have been identified by Professional Business Associates and are listed in the Style & Reference Manual.

Style & Reference Manual A standard style for documents is located in the Style & Reference Manual. All events will be authored and scored using the styles given. Failure to follow the Style & Reference Manual format for any job will result in a score of zero for that job.

Business Ethics Business Ethics, as listed in the “Competencies which may be covered” section, may include ideal moral and professional standards of behavior that should be demonstrated in all work environments. Questions might cover areas such as use of work time, care of equipment, confidentiality, honesty, safety practices, and cooperation.

Communications Communications, as listed in the “Competencies which may be covered” section, may include reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills.

Use of Regional TestsRegional Workplace Skills Assessments are recommended for use in event testing situations only.

Use of Previous or Sample TestsNo previous Business Professionals of America tests and/or sample tests or facsimiles thereof (handwritten, photocopied, or keyed) may be taken into the testing area. Contestants who violate this rule will be disqualified.

Admission to Event Testing SitesOnly the registered contestant will be allowed into the event site. Only advisors serving as administrators or proctors will be admitted.

Graphic Standards The Graphic Standards for Business Professionals of America are printed in the Style & Reference Manual. Please refer to these for any event where the organization’s logo is used.

Reference MaterialsSome events allow reference materials. Check the guidelines for each contest for further information.

Judges’ Review At the conclusion of any preliminary judged event, a Judges’ Review will be held for all students who participated in the event. Attendance is optional. Advisors will not be allowed in the Judges’ Review.

Judges’ CommentsJudges’ comments will be returned to State Advisors for contestants providing a self-addressed stamped envelope, including contestant number, at the time of testing at the NLC. State Advisors will forward the comments to chapters at their discretion.

Judged Events Requiring Preliminaries and FinalsWhen the number of entrants in the judged event requires multiple sections, preliminaries and finals will be held. An equal number of the top contestants from each preliminary section will be called back for finals. The finals are conducted as a new contest.

Reproduction EquipmentNo reproduction equipment (video cameras, cameras, digital cameras, tape or digital recorders, etc.) will be allowed in the contest room and/or viewing area unless authorized by the Business Professionals of America National Center.
