Are you looking to land your dream job – but employers aren’t willing to hire you until they know if you have all the skills that will make you successful on the job?

Consider taking the Test of Workplace Essential Skills (TOWES), which will give you the credential you need to prove to employers that you have the skills they are looking for.

TOWES is an assessment tool to test whether you have the appropriate levels of essential skills in the areas of reading text, document use and numeracy. Employers are looking for employees who have a level of competence in these areas. If you need assistance in successfully passing the TOWES test, we can help you with this as well. With specially designed courses that will help you with areas that need improvement, you will be well on your way to getting that job you’ve always dreamed about.

By Using TOWES:
• Employees, students, and job seekers can use TOWES to assess present skills and compare them to the requirements of over 200 jobs listed in the National Occupational Classification. The identification and development of essential skills enables individuals to make more informed career and education decisions, and gain access to higher paying jobs.
• Educators and trainers can pinpoint areas of strength and weakness and develop focused intervention strategies.
• Employers can identify skill gaps and provide focused training to prepare workers for a wide range of jobs. Investing in TOWES will improve an organization’s bottom line.
