Employers are able to identify those Employees/Job-seekers with the most potential for success on the job.

A Employee/Jobseeker must take three Assessments – Applied Mathematics, Reading for Information and Locating Information. These Assessments are different than most others; they test the work skills required for more than 85 percent of all jobs today.

* Applied Mathematics — Measures workplace mathematical reasoning and problem-solving skills from basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to multiple math functions like calculating percentage discounts and markups.

* Reading for Information — Measures reading comprehension and reasoning skills when using written text on the job including memos, letters, directions, signs, notices, bulletins, policies and regulations.

* Locating Information — Measures comprehension and application of workplace graphics such as charts, graphs, tables, forms, flowcharts, diagrams, floor plans, maps and instrument gauges.

The higher an individuals skill level, the better an individuals ability to perform more complex skills.
