What are Skills Assessments?

Skills assessments are practical tests that show how well someone can handle the tasks a job involves.

They look at core abilities like typing and data entry, basic math, using computers, and common tools like Microsoft Office. The aim is to check whether a person can actually do the work required, especially when those skills are used day to day.
