What is the NCLab CAREER READINESS ASSESSMENT?
NCLab’s CAREER READINESS ASSESSMENT is a “learn-and-apply” hands-on assessment that provides you insight into clients’ ability to learn and apply new knowledge, their problem solving, abstract reasoning, attention to detail, adaptability, and perseverance.
With that information in your hands, the Career Readiness Assessment increases your success by pinpointing the training programs that align best with your clients’ strengths, making it an invaluable tool for career planning and advancement.
This assessment is not a questionnaire. It does not ask about or test individuals’ prior knowledge and it does not include math. The only prerequisites are reading in English or Spanish and basic keyboarding. Virtually anybody can take the assessment.
What is the theory and research that underpins the assessment?
The CAREER READINESS ASSESSMENT has been used at NCLab for many years to determine whether individuals have an aptitude to learn, adapt, and perform well in various work environments. 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 in the CAREER READINESS ASSESSMENT is strongly positively correlated to the individual’s success in both training programs and working in various work environments.
Interestingly, close to 100% of the individuals who score highly on the assessment and subsequently enroll in NCLab skills training programs graduate and start high-growth jobs.
How is the CAREER READINESS ASSESSMENT scored?
The proprietary scoring methodology used by the Career Readiness Assessment (CRA) evaluates performance across numerous categories that the candidate demonstrates during the assessment process. These individual measurements are then combined to produce an overall score that reflects a candidate’s likelihood of success in training and workplace environments.
A strong score indicates that the individual has demonstrated the cognitive agility, attention to detail, perseverance, and problem-solving ability typically associated with successfully completing demanding training programs and performing effectively in real-world work situations.
