What is NCLab’s EMPLOYMENT READINESS ASSESSMENT (ERA)?
NCLab’s ERA is a task-based “learn-and-apply” performance assessment that measures individuals’ key attributes needed to be major contributors in your organization.
✅ Ability to Learn – Rapidly absorbs and applies new knowledge.
✅ Problem Solving – Uses newly acquired skills to solve unfamiliar challenges.
✅ Perseverance – Maintains drive through obstacles and setbacks.
✅ Attention to Detail – Delivers accurate, high-quality work with consistency.
✅ Abstract Reasoning – Evaluates complex information to select effective solutions.
The ERA offers a uniquely effective way to identify high-potential candidates—those who can grow, adapt, and contribute meaningfully to your organization from day one.
The ERA avoids wasted time and money hiring, onboarding, and training individuals who will not meet your performance expectations.
It has been used for over a decade in Workforce Development across the U.S. to identify people with an aptitude to learn, adapt, and perform well in career training programs. The results have been studied over time and have shown themselves to be very relevant.
It is now being made available to employers who are seeing a dramatic improvement in the quality of their new hires.
Beyond Traditional Assessments
Unlike traditional questionnaire-based assessments, this 1-2 hour “learn-and-apply” assessment takes individuals outside of their comfort zone and evaluates key performance attributes, making it an ideal resource for objective, informed personnel hiring decisions.
The assessment doesn’t measure what applicants already know—rather, it reveals how they think, learn, and persist.
The only prerequisites are English or Spanish comprehension and basic keyboarding skills, and it is not AI-solvable — success depends totally on the participant’s own effort.
