The Fork-Lift Essentials program was created prior to the award of the grant; however, VU LTEC worked with employers, such as Vital Solutions, during that time to develop the curriculum for the program. The resources created during the grant were updates/enhancements made to pre-existing curriculum in order to better capture a student's success in demonstrating, both in writing and application, their fork-lift skills.

Abstract
VU LTEC had a pre-existing fork-lift program prior to the award of the TAACCCT grant; however, the following are materials that were created/updated during the grant to be utilized within a fork-lift program. There are two types of assessments that were created to both measure a student's fork-lift knowledge, as well as demonstrate it. The first is a written Fork-Lift Pre/Post Assessment and the second is a Fork-Lift Evaluation form that measures a student's practical skills on various forklift equipment. Students must successfully pass both assessments with an 80% to pass the course. A Grade Template form has been provided for tracking this information. Lastly, course outlines have been provided for the one-day (6 hours) and two-day (12 hours) fork-lift courses. A one-day course is for individuals who have prior experience operating a fork-lift and the two-day course is for individuals with no previous experience.
