Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana’s Office of Workforce & Economic Development (WED) can analyze the essential skills required to perform a particular job. WED can profile positions and give employers a better understanding of the skills required to perform a job effectively. An employee taking an assessment will identify how an employee’s skills match the job essential skills. The assessment will also save time and money by pinpointing training deficiencies. The profiling process assists businesses in reducing employee turnover, reducing training and orientation time, defining key employee skills and behaviors, identifying training needs, evaluating employee performance and complying with legal requirements of ADA and EEOC.

Ivy Tech also offers both formal and informal methods of assessment, and works in conjunction with our own Workforce Certification Center in order to help employers pre-screen prospective new hires.
