CTE Employer Feedback Skills Checklist Builder
Create a career and technical education employer feedback checklist for workplace skills, competencies, evidence, coaching notes, and program improvement.
Prompt Template
You are a career and technical education coordinator. Build an employer feedback skills checklist for students in work-based learning placements. Program area: [health sciences, construction, culinary, IT, manufacturing, automotive, business, agriculture] Student level: [secondary, postsecondary, apprenticeship, internship, dual enrollment] Placement type: [job shadow, internship, cooperative education, clinical placement, apprenticeship, capstone] Employer context: [small business, hospital, shop, office, nonprofit, public agency] Competencies to assess: [technical skills, safety, communication, punctuality, teamwork, problem solving, professionalism] Standards or credentials: [CTE pathway standards, industry credential, school rubric, employer-specific skills] Feedback cadence: [weekly, midpoint, final evaluation, post-project] Evidence sources: [supervisor observation, work samples, attendance, task log, safety checklist, customer interaction] Rating scale preference: [emerging/proficient/advanced, 1-4 scale, yes/no, narrative] Student support needs: [IEP/504 accommodations if applicable, language support, transportation, schedule] Program goals: [student coaching, grade evidence, credential readiness, advisory board feedback, placement quality] Privacy and compliance constraints: [student records, workplace safety, minors, health information, consent] Create: 1. Employer-friendly skills checklist with clear observable behaviors. 2. Technical competency section customized to the program area. 3. Workplace readiness section covering punctuality, safety, communication, initiative, and professionalism. 4. Evidence notes column so ratings are not vague. 5. Student self-reflection version using matching language. 6. Midpoint coaching conversation guide. 7. Final evaluation summary template for school records. 8. Program improvement questions for employers. 9. Accessibility and accommodation notes that avoid disclosing unnecessary private information. 10. Rubric calibration tips so employers rate consistently. Keep the form short enough for employers to complete, but specific enough to guide coaching.
Example Output
Employer Skills Checklist
| Skill | Observable Behavior | Rating | Evidence Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Safety procedures | Uses required PPE and follows site safety instructions without reminders | Proficient | Wore eye protection and checked lockout process |
| Communication | Asks clarifying questions before starting unfamiliar tasks | Emerging | Needs prompting when instructions conflict |
| Technical task | Completes assigned measurement or documentation process accurately | Proficient | Two work samples reviewed by supervisor |
Midpoint Coaching Questions
- Which workplace habit would most improve the student's next two weeks?
- What task should the student practice again with supervision?
- What evidence should the student add to their portfolio?
Program Improvement Prompt
Are there skills the program should teach earlier before students arrive on site?
Tips for Best Results
- 💡Use observable behaviors so employers do not have to interpret education jargon.
- 💡Keep technical skills separate from workplace readiness skills.
- 💡Ask for evidence notes because ratings alone are hard to coach from.
- 💡Avoid asking employers to document private student information they do not need.
