NEED YOUR SKILLS ASSESSED?

Want to gain a nationally recognized qualification - further enhance your promotion or job prospects, plan your career or determine your future training needs?

Connect Assess assessment services can help!

Connect Assess Assessment Services provides you with a simple means of having your skills recognised through a competency assessment process.

This process will require Connect Assess to collect evidence from you about your skills and knowledge and then compare them to a set of competency standards. Our qualified assessors will help you through this process and provide guidance as to what levels of evidence you might need to provide.

The onus will be on you, assisted by the assessor to demonstrate that you have the skills and knowledge to do the job in the way you are required to as well as clearly demonstrate these skills and handle related problems on-the-job.

IMPORTANT

Most people being assessed will choose to do so at their place of work. Before collecting evidence you will therefore need to get the support of your employer/supervisor.

If a client requires skills testing of overseas workers, or a skills audit of an existing domestic Australian workforce, Connect Assess has developed comprehensive testing instruments that examine qualifications attained, theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills.

Connect Assess carries is a registered training organisation and is able to issue nationally recognised qualifications.

All our skills testing and audits are carried out by nationally accredited workplace skills assessors.

Using instruments such as Workplace and Skills Assessments, we can make assessment of hundreds of different skills and skills categories covering theory and practice.

We conduct site visits, individually test workers knowledge and skills, and examine certifications.

Drawing up skills gap analysis, career structures and training plans

Connect Assess uses a range of knowledge sources to undertake a gap analysis. We consult with the client, where possible using strategic and business plans, and utilising knowledge and advice from recommended managers. Through this we learn about where the company is at now, the future pathway of the company, and then work through the skills mix and capacity requirements.

Connect Asses will clearly identify the knowledge and skills required for carrying out the work at the enterprise.

Using the data from a skills audit a skills gap analysis will then be produced. This will identify immediate and longer-term priorities.

Job analysis is an important part of what Connect Assess does. Connect Assess undertakes job analysis by identifying an Area Skills Matrix. This relies on the collection of raw data demonstrating the scope of work normally undertaken by company employees, and may include scoping future work requirements.

New or modernised career structures will be developed after consultations with all key stakeholders and using a matrix of competency standards against classification standards under required industrial instruments.

The use of competency standards is crucial, as through these benchmarks Connect Assess are able to objectively determine employee classification level under the Award, job models to suit needs of the enterprise, identification of training needs and the classification of new or redesigned jobs.

Training plans developed by Connect Assess will connect the existing skills status of the workforce to where the enterprise wants to be in the future.

We will then forward you an Assessment Kit which will include an outline of how assessment takes place, what you personally will be required to do and how to calculate what costs might be involved.

If you decide to proceed you should complete the enrolment form included in the Kit and we will have an Assessor make contact to arrange the assessment/s.
