Career Assessment Software
Career assessment software is an invaluable tool used to identify and compare an individual's vocational interests with those of specific careers and positions in today's workforce. Job training specialists, school counselors, psychologists, adult career development specialists, human resource development personnel and other professionals who provide career guidance, counseling, and coaching are the key users of career assessment software.
Key Uses
Specifically, career assessment software can be used to help individuals, employees, or students:
- Focus on key attributes, skills, and interests that are important in making educational and occupational choices
- Explore new career options
- Match careers to their personality, interests, skills, and values
- Clarify their vocational opportunities
- Identify other rewarding careers if they have been displaced or if they are re-entering the workforce
- Make better, informed career decisions
Recruiting Tool
Career assessment software can be an invaluable recruiting tool. As a recruiting aid, a software solution should include a career assessment testing module to help prospective employees and recruiters determine the job categories that are best suited to the candidate's skills and interests.
Part of an Employee Performance and Talent Management Solution
Career assessment software can also be an integral part of an integrated employee performance and talent management solution. It can directly support or complement employee performance evaluations, which are key to an employee's career development. Performance evaluations are designed to measure the extent to which an employee's performance meets the requirements of a position and the organization's goals.
