  improvement, if necessary.
• The instructor will provide you with a completed student evaluation called a Competency Checklist so that you will know on which jobs the
  employee is ready to work independently, and which tasks require additional supervision.
• Employees earn 6 college credits through Ben Franklin Institute of Technology.
