Benchmarking and assessments serve as invaluable tools for personal and professional growth. By comparing one's abilities against industry standards or peer performance, individuals gain a clear understanding of their strengths and weaknesses.
Benchmarking and assessments provide a structured approach to navigating this complexity. By identifying skill gaps through assessments, learners can prioritize their efforts, allocate time efficiently and maximize the impact of their learning experiences.
The thing is, these tools are not always readily available.
However, that’s now changed thanks to Workera launching its new free assessment experience.
Workera is changing how organizations align business needs with verified skills data to future-proof their workforce and more effectively meet their strategic objectives. Workera offers insights into workforce capabilities and uses a skills ontology and AI to provide precise skill measurements.
With Workera, businesses strategically align teams, accurately identify and bridge skill gaps and optimize talent allocation with unprecedented efficiency, and the new free assessment experience lets anyone assess and verify their skills across some of the most competitive, in-demand and evolving domains.
Previously exclusive to enterprise customers and government organizations, Workera skills assessments are available for the 10+ most sought-after AI domains: Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Digital Literacy, ChatGPT, Generative AI, Communicating about AI, Business Analytics, Data Decision-Making, Probability & Statistics, Prompt Engineering, Data Science Processes, Diffusion Models and MLOps.
The platform (updated monthly in 2024 to reflect the most current advancements in AI) allows users to access standardized skill measurement data and share their accomplishments on LinkedIn with native social sharing capabilities.
Using a precise 300-point scale, Workera categorizes users as Beginner (1-100), Developing (101-200), or Accomplished (201-300), which helps them understand their skill level and what to learn next. The platform then focuses on learning velocity and measures how quickly users can improve their skills over time.
“With so much learning content available, it can be difficult to know where to concentrate your efforts,” said Kian Katanforoosh, CEO of Workera. “By starting with an assessment, individuals can understand how they stack up against their peers and identify skill gaps, leading to a uniquely tailored learning path."
Internal data shows Workera’s platform boost generative AI proficiency by 240%, which meets the rising demand for top-tier AI skills. By starting with assessments to understand skills gaps, Workera helps organizations accelerate upskilling by more than 5-times to address the need to keep skills relevant in a rapidly changing technology landscape.
“Understanding where to focus your time is a significant advantage in learning, potentially saving you hundreds of hours,” Katanforoosh added.
