Testimonials

SkillScan is the best tool on the market to take a close look at the skills you have to offer an employer, your community service, or the skills you take into self-employment. I love that it can be used with other self-assessments to strengthen and enhance your self-knowledge

As a holistic Executive/Life Coach, SkillScan has allowed me to offer next-level holistic service for my clients in career transition or clients who simply want to boost their confidence and highlight their skills in their current role. SkillScan is both extremely straightforward and in-depth and I highly recommend it!

The new Advance Pack SkillScan is an excellent tool. I have been using it with university students and alumni and have had great feedback. The updated categories make sense to clients and the new cards have a very professional look. I am ordering more to use them in workshops!

For over twelve years, SkillScan has been George Mason University Career Services’ trusted companion in guiding students and alums through their career paths. From novices embarking on their professional journeys to seasoned professionals seeking advancement, this tool has been instrumental in assessing transferable skills with precision and insight. Utilized both in individual appointments and as a core component of our career preparation courses, SkillScan has consistently delivered tailored guidance, helping individuals identify their strengths and capitalize on them effectively. As we look back on over a decade of collaboration, we remain indebted to SkillScan for its role in shaping the career trajectories of our students and alums.

I administered Skill Scan to my class of sophomore plastics engineering students today. The students loved it! One said he didn't realize he had so many skills. Another said he now had words to use to describe his experience when introducing himself to someone professionally. Even those who had a lot of skills yet to develop were excited to record them all in one place. It was a great confidence booster! 

I frequently use DRIVE with both my entry level clients and career changers. It's always a confidence booster for clients not only see their transferable skills, but also the potential application of skills. The new supplemental exercises are also very helpful in terms of providing a comprehensive understanding of career preferences.

I really liked using Skillscan’s Career Driver Online. I liked how the system grouped skills and made career and class suggestions based on those skills. I took my students to the computer lab to take the assessment and it was helpful to work in a group because one student’s question helped other students.  My students found it easy to use. During my student’s final presentation on their career action plan, they all talked about the Career Driver’s recommendations for their skills and how it would fit into to the job they wanted.

The SkillScan assessment helped me categorize my skills and the career fields I can further investigate.  It was nice to see a list of my strength so I could get a big picture of what I am interested in or good at.  Also, I thought it was nice that the SkillScan assessment helped me explore things I want to  improve.  This assessment was a good chance to explore my strength/talent or weaknesses as I develop my career goal.

I discovered SkillScan a few years ago and have incorporated it into my career coaching practice. My coaching services are for career transitions at mid-life and beyond. The report SkillScan generates is robust, and the website contains a wealth of resources for coaches and a ton of exercises I can share with my clients. Lesah responds quickly to questions—even on the weekends! She’s a pleasure to work with.
