Office Skills Assessment

An Office Skills Assessment can aid the consumer, referral source, and pertinent stakeholders in evaluating an individual’s proficiency in any number of office related tasks.  This one day assessment provides information as to an individual’s ability to use the computer, fax machine, copy machine; organize documentation, take telephone messages, send emails; and write a business letter. It also provides
feedback about the individual’s current typing speed.  The goal of the Office Skills Assessment is to evaluate readiness for employment in a job requiring some of these skills, determine if additional training might be beneficial, and to aid all parties in developing future plans relevant to the individual’s current skill set.

Assessments include:

• Typing skills (speed and accuracy)
• General office skills (use of equipment, organization, presentation)
• Computer skills (general knowledge, printers, scanners, etc.) 
• Microsoft program knowledge ( Word, Outlook, Excel, and the Internet Explorer)

The length of an assessment  depends on the client, but is generally in the range of five to six hours over a period of a few days.
