Use of the Army Classification Battery for Counseling and Assignment to Non-Army Training

Abstract

Project TRANSITION is a unique and ambitious program of cooperation among the Armed Forces, industry and labor, and a number of federal agencies. The goal is to provide soon-to-be veterans with job training and thereby help them find productive futures as civilians. Four basic services are offered to men and women being separated from the service: counseling, training, education, and job referral. Enlisted members with six months or less of active duty remaining prior to separation or retirement are eligible for TRANSITION assistance. In the Army, implementation of Project TRANSITION focused attention on the proper referral of applicants for TRANSITION training. However, in order to provide an empirical base for the use of the Army tests in Project TRANSITION, DOD requested BESRL to undertake a small-scale one-time study. The study was conducted on students in the IBM Office Equipment Repair Course. The present Research Memorandum is a report of the comparability study of ACB tests and the tests used routinely with civilian applicants for the course.
