Using Free Assessments to Prepare Individuals for Workforce Success

Workforce development boards and eligible training providers play a critical role in helping individuals build the confidence, skills, and self-awareness needed to thrive in today’s evolving job market. One effective way to support these efforts is by offering tools that help people better understand themselves, their communication styles, and how they relate to others.

The Foundation for Talent Transformation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, provides a suite of free, research-based online assessments that promote self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and career readiness. These tools are easy to access and can be used by job seekers, program staff, and volunteers to support reflection, goal setting, and personal growth.

How These Tools Support Workforce Goals

The assessments help individuals build essential competencies required to participate effectively in today’s workforce, including communication, collaboration, cooperation, and conflict management. These insights support informed career decisions, improve interview readiness, strengthen interpersonal relationships, and highlight personal strengths to build upon. Developing self-awareness can be a decisive first step toward lasting personal and professional success for those navigating complex challenges.

Why These Tools Are Valuable

These assessments are based on established psychological and workforce development research. They actively engage individuals in learning and goal setting, rather than just providing passive information. They’re designed to be practical, relevant, and accessible—especially for those making career transitions or seeking greater clarity about their direction.

They are not intended to replace personalized support but to enhance it, helping clients better express their aspirations, recognize their challenges, and take ownership of their next steps. To explore the full list of assessments, including their purposes and benefits, visit:
