The Career ConneCT skills inventory

What is the purpose of the skills inventory?

The skills inventory is a tool to learn more about your skills in math, spatial reasoning, reading, comprehension, and how you might respond to some common situations you may find yourself in. The skills inventory will help your case manager or career coach provide better guidance to you in your career choices and can provide additional skills development programs if needed to ensure your success in both the training program and the career you choose. This is not a test that will be used to deny your entrance into Career ConneCT programs.
