Micro-SKILLS

Limited time offer*** Those who participate can take Micro-SKILLS & SKILLS - 2 hours of assessments - FREE in one appointment. Call (208) 769-7700 for more information and to sign up! 

Reliable and Valid - Great for hands-on learners, and adults who have some life experience – looks at transferable skills (not the best for high school or very young students) 

After you select transferable skills that you enjoy using most, this program will suggest and rate 30 of your most compatible occupations. You will also receive a score for each of the 6 Holland Personality Types and see how that relates to the work you enjoy. Then choose 5 specific occupations and discover why it is a good fit or not. You will also leave with information on these 5 occupations.

2 hour Zoom appointment

Clients sort from among 72 well defined skill cards to select 35 cards. Once they prioritize these identified skill preferences into 5 "Very Satisfying", 10 "Moderately Satisfying", and 20 "Somewhat Satisfying" categories, and select five occupations of interest, that information is input into a computer program. The results are available about 10 minutes later. Along with this document, each client receives a complete interpretation of these results.
