Consistency of Process Allows for Comparative Reporting
Measuring the 8 NACE Competencies
Students invite supervisors, mentors, and coworkers to evaluate their recent experience; Evaluators complete their ratings in 8 minutes or less; Institutions measure and assess student ratings for each NACE competency; Feedback is shared with the student.
Leveraging Proven HR Technology
Institutions use a proven and scientifically validated HR solution used by thousands of organizations and 30+ million job candidates and references for evaluating and comparing candidate competencies resulting in two billion data points.
Completing The Feedback Loop
Centers and students receive a detailed, visual report outlining how evaluators rated each student’s competencies; Provides a succinct snapshot of recent performance and competency mastery unlike typical evaluations.
Project Highlights
Post-Experience Evaluation
We’ve researched hundreds of evaluations in online & offline formats. This project provides institutions with a proven, scientifically validated, cloud-based solution to consistently measure and track competencies.
Normative & Comparative Data
Using a consistent set of competencies allows institutions to compare and evaluate student competency ratings by major, nationally, and against previously rated entry-level candidates, and provides data to monitor improvement.
