A skills assessment can be helpful at any stage of your career, such as  when you:

  • start your career
  • return to work
  • progress your career

    Transferable skills are a set of skills that you’re good at. You can build them up over time, through work, volunteering, education and life. You can apply these skills to a range of jobs.

    You may want to take an assessment to help you:

    • find out what interests and motivates you
    • identify your skills
    • find out what you can do with the skills you have

    Discover your skills and careers
