A collaboration between the Consortium for Mathematics and Its Applications (COMAP), the Community College Research Center, and the Information Technology Association of America, the WorkMAP project will conduct research and design strategies to examine the level and nature of mathematics and problem-solving skills required in entry-level jobs and career advancement for technicians in the technical workplace. The results of the study will inform two- and four-year higher education institutions on the type of mathematics skills needed and used in the technological workforce. Three component phases comprise this two-year ATE project: 1) development and implementation of research strategies to assess mathematics skills employed in the IT workplace; 2) creation of tools to measure workforce skills; and 3) dissemination of research findings, materials and tools. Research briefs will be produced to include identification of the mathematical skills and problem-solving strategies used by IT workers, description of sample problems encountered in the IT workplace, discussion of case studies of IT workplace site visits, and presentation of instruments and protocols for future workplace examination. A one-day teleconference as well as project workshops will be offered to disseminate project results.

WorkMAP 项目是数学及其应用联盟 (COMAP)、社区学院研究中心和美国信息技术协会之间的合作项目，将开展研究和设计策略，以检验技术工作场所技术人员入门级工作和职业发展所需的数学水平和性质以及解决问题的技能。 研究结果将为两年制和四年制高等教育机构提供技术劳动力所需和使用的数学技能类型的信息。 这个为期两年的 ATE 项目由三个组成部分组成：1) 制定和实施研究策略，以评估 IT 工作场所中使用的数学技能； 2）创建衡量劳动力技能的工具； 3) 传播研究成果、材料和工具。 将制作研究简报，包括确定 IT 工作人员使用的数学技能和解决问题的策略、描述 IT 工作场所遇到的示例问题、讨论 IT 工作场所现场访问的案例研究，以及介绍未来工作场所检查的工具和协议。 将举行为期一天的电话会议以及项目研讨会来传播项目成果。
