What is the NCLab EMPLOYMENT READINESS ASSESSMENT?
NCLab’s EMPLOYMENT READINESS ASSESSMENT is a task-based “learn-and-apply” hands-on assessment that provides you insight into individuals’ attention to detail, ability to apply newly-acquired knowledge, problem-solving skills, abstract reasoning, adaptability, and perseverance needed to thrive in your organization.
This assessment does not measure prior knowledge or include math. Its only prerequisites are basic English reading skills and keyboarding ability, making it usable by nearly every applicant.
Unlike traditional questionnaire-based assessments, this task-based learn-and-apply assessment takes individuals outside of their comfort zone and evaluates key attributes, making it an ideal resource for objective, informed hiring decisions.
Finally, the assessment is not AI-solvable — success depends totally on the participant’s own effort.
What is the theory and research that underpins the assessment?
The EMPLOYMENT READINESS ASSESSMENT has been used at NCLab for many years to determine whether people have an aptitude to learn, adapt, and perform well in NCLab career training programs. The results have been studied over time and have shown themselves to be very relevant.
Interestingly, close to 100% of the individuals who score highly on the assessment and subsequently enroll in NCLab Data Analyst, Python Programmer, and Automation Technician career training programs complete the training and start high-paying careers.
What is the predictive validity of the assessment in future performance?
An individual’s success on the EMPLOYMENT READINESS ASSESSMENT is closely linked to their ability to thrive in high-demand job settings.
How is the EMPLOYMENT READINESS ASSESSMENT scored?
The proprietary scoring system of the EMPLOYMENT READINESS ASSESSMENT includes numerous categories which cover key attributes. Each attribute is assessed separately, and the final score is calculated based on these individual metrics.
A high score reflects strong potential for success, indicating that an individual possesses the attributes needed to excel at tasks that they set their mind to do.
