Vocational assessments help job seekers identify the work that best fits their skills, their interests and their circumstances.

CareerForce, Minnesota’s career exploration and job search resource, offers several online options for vocational assessments. Some of these include:

· An employment readiness assessment to determine if someone is ready for employment and what steps need to be taken if it’s determined they are not

· Compare Skills, which helps someone compare skills required for their current or prior career to other careers

· Interest Assessment

· Skills Matcher

All assessments are located on the Job Search Tools website

The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development offers Job Outlook, an online resource for learning about occupations in demand and how to match previous work experience to other jobs.

Employment Services agencies are likely to use additional vocational assessments.
