CWES Assessment Overview

Assessment is a Job Readiness Assistance activity that count as federal core hours and is designed to assist clients in identifying an appropriate career goal. A client’s aptitudes are measured using standardized instruments. These aptitudes are reviewed with the client’s interests and are evaluated during the individualized interview(s). Observations from service providers or employers are other behavioral measurements taken into consideration during assessment.

Generally, the in-house Assessment takes approximately 30 days. However, there are situations when this 30-day period may be exceeded, such as when the client is referred:

• To the DOR, or
• To a healthcare or service provider to obtain required documents.
