One of the major services provided by Workforce Solutions East Texas is to serve the employers by finding and training qualified workers for the jobs available. While workers in the East Texas area are plentiful, the skill levels often fall short of the levels required for available positions. It can be a challenge to find just the right fit between available work force and employer needs. Let us assist your business by using our assessment and skills testing tools and expertise. Workforce Solutions East Texas provides the following assessments and skills testing services: WorkKeys The WorkKeys assessments target up to 11 foundational workplace skill areas including Applied Mathematics, Listening, Locating Information, and Teamwork. Workforce Solutions East Texas can tailor the assessments to fit the needs of each employer and/or job posting, providing the employer with only the most qualified and skilled applicants to consider for each job available. Why hire an individual to only find out later that they do not have the skills needed to perform successfully on the job. WorkKeys provides information upfront to the employer, as to if an applicant has the skills needed to be a productive, successful employee. Workforce Solutions East Texas utilizes WorkKeys in an effort to match better-qualified applicants to the jobs employers are seeking to fill. This system, developed by ACT, Inc., provides businesses with a valid screening and selection tool in which to identify appropriate skills possessed by each applicant.
