Testimonials

I use SkillScan with about 90% of my Quarter-life clients and can’t imagine career counseling without it. It’s my MOST valuable tool for this age group – 23-42.

Our career counseling team has used SkillScan Drive and the in-person card sort with university students and alumni for several years now, and it is an integral part of our career counselor toolbox. I was using the card sort with a student just the other day and the tactile nature, sorting process, colors to help categorize, and conversation about those skills were instrumental in helping the student realize some of their favorite skills that were being ignored. The student was very quickly re-connected with a lost part of themselves, which led to a significant a-ha moment for them. I am a huge fan of SkillScan!

Drive is the one assessment I start with all of my clients. It puts us on the same page regarding what skills and skill sets are important to them. Knowing this helps me guide my clients toward roles that are the right fit for them, with speed and confidence.

I find your seminars inspirational and right on for being able to use the ideas almost the next day with clients. It is so good to hear from professionals who have developed useful practices based on SkillScan.

In working with Career Transitioners, they often find the exploration process overwhelming and intimidating. I use SkillScan with virtually every client. The clear language, concrete results and multitude of follow-up resources help my transitioners feel grounded so they can make traction toward their goals.

SkillScan is the best tool on the market to take a close look at the skills you have to offer an employer, your community service, or the skills you take into self-employment. I love that it can be used with other self-assessments to strengthen and enhance your self-knowledge

SkillScan is deceptively simple and transparent, yet profoundly useful. Asking clients to sort and rank their skills, together with clustering them into occupationally meaningful patterns, provide them positive, hopeful insights, helps to clarify their core career identity and builds confidence and self-esteem--all necessary to maintain an effective career development program in the face of inevitable challenges.

The more I use it, the more I love SkillScan as a valuable part of my career assessment offering for clients of all ages. I can use their DRIVE report in conjunction with various assessment offerings such as their Holland code, personality type, and work values to show a more cohesive and unified profile of who they are and what they have to offer. As a visual learner, I love the way information is easily absorbed through the DRIVE's colorful report and Lesah's clever diagrams in the training.

I administered Skill Scan to my class of sophomore plastics engineering students today. The students loved it! One said he didn't realize he had so many skills. Another said he now had words to use to describe his experience when introducing himself to someone professionally. Even those who had a lot of skills yet to develop were excited to record them all in one place. It was a great confidence booster! 

As a therapist and career coach, I have found SkillScan to be a very valuable tool in pinpointing the work skills that my clients are highly motivated to use. It also sheds light on potential reasons for client burn-out.
