  • 1.  Assessing the workforce

    Posted 08-24-1998 11:03
    I am on several business and educational advisory committees that are
    discussing similar themes and we need some help. Vendor replies
    will not be considered. We need real-life, practical information.

    What are the best assessment tools to determine what skills, attitudes and
    abilities applicants need to succeed in the business environment?

    Free information (studies, benchmarks,etc) defining the largest/most
    common gaps between skills, abilities and attitudes of high school/college
    students, and the needs of employers?

    School - work programs. What has/has not worked and why?

    Please, pardon the cross posting, I would like to receive a wide range of
    replies so I'm posting to a wide variety of lists.

    Thank you in advance
