Workforce Development

The Benefits: Build a workforce with the skills to succeed

Employers profit most when their workforce can apply basic (foundation) skills and soft skills to job tasks and interactions with coworkers and customers. We can help determine the status of these skills when someone is looking for a job or after someone has been hired.

CASAS Assessment tools can help to

• Place individuals into training programs where they can succeed.
• Identify skill gaps, monitor progress, and certify attainment of employment-related competencies.
• Certify specific and effective workplace behaviors and job-related skills.

Choose from these CASAS assessments

• Appraisals for quick and accurate placement, referral, or hiring decisions.
• CASAS eWORKs to certify work readiness skills – including effective workplace behaviors (soft skills).
• Progress tests to document reading, math, listening, writing and soft skills. Test results guide instruction and monitor progress.
• Speaking assessments to evaluate on-the-job speaking skills.
• Work Readiness Checklists to gauge job seeking readiness.
• Worksite Performance Ratings to gauge potential on-the-job behavior.
