Employment Readiness Assessment
NCLab’s cutting-edge EMPLOYMENT READINESS ASSESSMENT goes beyond traditional evaluations. While most assessments measure existing knowledge, personality, and interests; this assessment delves deeper—identifying key attributes that set top performers apart. Those include attention to detail, comprehension of written instructions, ability to apply newly-acquired knowledge, problem-solving skills, adaptability, and perseverance. It is very well suited for all job roles.
The assessment is ideally suited to help employers identify job applicants who will be top performers, while avoiding costly hiring mistakes.
What is the NCLab EMPLOYMENT READINESS ASSESSMENT?
The EMPLOYMENT READINESS ASSESSMENT is a 2-hour task-based “learn-and-apply” hands-on assessment that provides insight into individuals’ attention to detail, comprehension of written instructions, ability to apply newly-acquired knowledge, problem-solving skills, adaptability and perseverance needed to thrive in any organization.
The assessment takes individuals outside of their comfort zone and sees how they perform. It is not a questionnaire and does not measure prior knowledge or include math. The only requirements are basic English reading skill and keyboarding ability. Virtually anybody can take the assessment.
Unlike traditional assessments, this tool evaluates key competencies without relying on past experience, making it an ideal resource for objective, informed decision making, and because it is task-based, it prevents the use of AI platforms to provide the answers the employer is looking for.
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 its training programs. The results have been studied over time and have shown themselves to be very relevant.
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 the hard and soft skills measured by the assessment. Each category 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.
