SkillScan is very useful in identifying transferable skills—helping a client see the possibilities beyond their college degree and previous job titles.

My clients report that SkillScan Online is quick to complete and the results are easy to navigate. SkillScan makes it simple for my clients with minimal work experience to identify their transferable skills. It also provides links to O*Net OnLine giving career explorers the opportunity to research many career options based on their skills!

I really liked using Skillscan’s Career Driver Online. I liked how the system grouped skills and made career and class suggestions based on those skills. I took my students to the computer lab to take the assessment and it was helpful to work in a group because one student’s question helped other students.  My students found it easy to use. During my student’s final presentation on their career action plan, they all talked about the Career Driver’s recommendations for their skills and how it would fit into to the job they wanted.

SkillScan Online provides the perfect amount of insight for job seekers to clarify their transferable skills and identify career possibilities. Moreover, SkillScan has great resources to help clients market their transferable skills on their resume or in a job interview. SkillScan provides a language for clients to describe the skills they bring to the table, which helps increase confidence in the job search.

Using the Advance Pack with students has been extremely effective. Helping students to look at what tasks they would actually be doing in a career has shown them the difference between occupations that they like the idea of versus occupations that truly reflect their interests and giftings. I have found SkillScan to be my most efficient assessment tool, giving the student a wealth of information in a short amount of time. Lesah has placed a number of valuable resources on the website, as well. 

As a business who helps both job seekers and career changers, we love using SkillScan with our clients. Hundreds of these clients have been able to easily identify their strengths as well as skills that need some improvement. This information is crucial to resume writing and prepping for an interview with easy-to-understand results of the assessment. Additionally, career options are identified in direct correlation to their strongest skillsets in a variety of sectors. SkillScan is definitely one of our core assessments to help our clients achieve their employment goals.

SkillScan is so easy to use while also being an effective tool in providing clarity for our clients, especially those who struggle to articulate their strengths. It is helpful for our diverse range of clients, from those just embarking on their professional lives to mid-career professionals who want to make a change to those debating how to spend their last years in the workforce. Clients can take a deep dive into career exploration or just skim the surface of the report and still get valuable insight into themselves. We even find the reports helpful for writing resumes!

I found Career Driver Online to be a very comprehensive tool with lots of information:

• The use of weighting and prioritization helps users to discriminate among all the skills they are interested in. This can be extremely helpful for those individuals whose interests are all over the place.
• The Side Trips and Resources section is great.
   

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.

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.
