Career Readiness Assessment
Our time proven CAREER 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, ability to problem solve using newly-acquired knowledge, abstract reasoning, adaptability, and perseverance.
The assessment is being used in various settings, which include:
- Individuals who want to explore logic-driven problem-solving and find out if a new career is in their future.
- Career counselors who want to be more successful in getting their clients trained and into jobs they’ll enjoy doing.
What is the NCLab CAREER READINESS ASSESSMENT?
The CAREER READINESS ASSESSMENT is a 1 to 2-hour task-based “learn-and-apply” hands-on assessment. It 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 or Spanish 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.
Individuals who complete the assessment are provided a digital badge and can be confident that they’ll be able to successfully complete workplace activities and training that they set their mind to do.
What is the theory and research that underpins the assessment?
The CAREER READINESS ASSESSMENT has been used at NCLab for over a decade 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.
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 successfully complete their training and start high-paying careers.
What is the predictive validity of the assessment in future performance?
An individual’s success on the Career Readiness Assessment is closely linked to their ability to succeed in rigorous training and thrive in high-demand job settings.
