ESAT™ — Essential Skills Assessment Tool

The soft-skills gap — the mismatch between the skills employers need and those job seekers possess — is one of the significant workforce challenges of the decade. ESAT™ helps workforce agencies and employers measure where their people actually stand.

O*NET aligned

Results align to the U.S. Department of Labor's occupational database, so training is tailored to the requirements of a specific job rather than a generic profile.
