Welcome To The Career Readiness Assessment!
This powerful tool assesses your aptitude, motivation, and drive to upskill, all of which are essential factors in discovering a career path where you can excel and find fulfillment.
The Career Readiness Assessment is a hands-on "learn-and-apply" assessment that is followed by a post-assessment interview. The assessment does not test prior knowledge; it does not include math; and it does not rely on specific subject matter expertise. The only prerequisites are English reading comprehension and keyboarding skill. Virtually anyone can take the assessment.
Why is the Career Readiness Assessment Important?
This assessment helps your counselor pinpoint the training programs that align best with your strengths, making it an invaluable tool for career planning and advancement.
Your performance in this assessment is a strong predictor of success in different training programs, helping you navigate toward a sustainable and fulfilling career.
