Can KOSSA assessments be used for college admissions?

The KOSSA assessments are specifically designed to evaluate students' skills and knowledge in various occupational areas, primarily aimed at helping them demonstrate their readiness for the workforce or technical training. These assessments are not intended for college admissions purposes; instead, they serve to validate a student's competencies related to technical and vocational education.

KOSSA focuses on practical skills relevant to specific careers, ensuring that students are well-prepared for employment after completing their programs. While skills validated by KOSSA could be beneficial in a job application context, they do not fulfill the criteria set by colleges for admission, which typically require standardized tests or GPA for evaluation.

Colleges and universities may have their own admissions requirements, which are not influenced by the results of KOSSA assessments, reinforcing the focus on occupational readiness rather than academic admission criteria.
