Testimonials

I really enjoyed prioritizing my skills and aligning them with career options.


MBA Student, Haas School of Business

SkillScan has been one of my favorite career assessment instruments for 25 years; it is a timeless tool which clients frequently refer to over time as they focus on marketing their transferable skills throughout their careers. As a career management professional, I have used SkillScan successfully in multiple venues, including colleges and universities, outplacement venues, trainings, and my private career counseling practice to assist a variety of clients and business professionals. The newest version brings back the best of the original, and adds new features which bring a clearer focus to the results - key transferable skills which often lead to significant career insights - for users. I have found SkillScan to be extremely effective in assisting individuals and groups in identifying, clarifying, and prioritizing work skills and interests. Participants very much enjoy the combination of initial tactile intuitive choices and prioritization followed by the presentation of a focused Skill Profile and Skill Wheel containing transferable skills in helpful cluster patterns. SkillScan is particularly effective because of its User's Manual rich with practical, useful resources. The newly revised manual on CD very conveniently allows for easy downloading of formatted exercise handouts and materials, in addition to original templates.

I really loved this space and time, with very clear explanations and an interesting contribution on how to integrate SkillScan reports with other assessments and how to help clients through to overcome their blockages in their careers.

I have been using SkillScan for the past 8 years, both the physical version and the online version. It is my go-to resource for clients who could benefit from understanding how their skills fit into their career design. I am continually amazed by how many ‘a-ha’ moments arise in the conversations that follow!

As a holistic Executive/Life Coach, SkillScan has allowed me to offer next-level holistic service for my clients in career transition or clients who simply want to boost their confidence and highlight their skills in their current role. SkillScan is both extremely straightforward and in-depth and I highly recommend it!

I just used Drive for the first time with our clients and I loved it.  The report layout is crisp, clean and easy to follow!  I sent a use to my colleague, and she loved the look and feel of it as well!  I think my favorite change is the career choices that go with each skill set! Thank you!

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.

The new Advance Pack SkillScan is an excellent tool. I have been using it with university students and alumni and have had great feedback. The updated categories make sense to clients and the new cards have a very professional look. I am ordering more to use them in workshops!

Margo Gilliland, Career Counselor

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.

Zachary M. Cochran, Founder and Career Design Coach, Cochran Coaching LLC, Baltimore, MD

I frequently use DRIVE with both my entry level clients and career changers. It's always a confidence booster for clients not only see their transferable skills, but also the potential application of skills. The new supplemental exercises are also very helpful in terms of providing a comprehensive understanding of career preferences.
