Skillrater Program: Find Your Ideal Career Fit

What is the Skillrater Program?

The Skillrater program is a workshop and assessment process designed to provide a clearer, more realistic view of your professional skills and potential. It guides participants through a series of exercises to identify the best-fitting roles and organizations for their career. Many participants discover that the career path they had envisioned was not the right fit, and the program helps them pivot toward a more suitable direction.

Is This Program Right for You?

This program is designed for professionals asking critical career questions:

What is holding me back from progressing in my career?
Which companies and positions are the right fit for me?
What are my key strengths and areas for improvement for specific organizations?
How can I get a better and more realistic view of my own skills?
What is my next and best career move?

How the Skillrater Program Works

The workshop follows a structured agenda to help you build a case for your next career step.

Take the Skillrater Assessment: The process begins with a proprietary assessment based on a leadership competency model common to most organizations.
Dialogue on Results: Discuss and interpret your assessment results to understand your profile.
Engage the Buddy System: Get direct advice and help from peers in the program.
Find Your Best-Fit Organizations: Identify companies that are the best match for your strongest competencies.
Write Your Business Case: Create a compelling document that argues for your success in a target position.

Using its competency models, the Skillrater tool finds the optimal fit for you based on your results. It helps design a program to put your best foot forward in interviews and build a successful career within a target organization.
