SkillScan Online is a self-directed process that enables clients to assess skills and competencies, explore career options, and plan skill development activities to keep pace with the changing work demands.

It gives them the opportunity to identify and review potential career options prior to counseling. The effective use of this program in this fast-paced job market puts effective skill identification in the client's hands. (JDM)
