BERWYN, Pa., Nov. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/
-- SkillSurvey, the leading provider of talent intelligence
and career readiness solutions, announced its first ever "Career
Readiness Leader & Innovator Awards" to recognize institutions
that demonstrate success in career readiness. SkillSurvey Career
Readiness® uses proven HR technology developed by I/O Psychologists
based on behavioral science and job competency modeling so that
students are rated on behaviors key to employers and to workplace
success. Participating institutions obtain feedback from
supervisors and co-workers following internships, co-ops, student
employment, or other work experiences using behaviors mapped to the
eight NACE competencies.
Over 170 Higher Education institutions have used SkillSurvey's
Career Readiness platform developed in partnership with the
National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) to evaluate
their students. SkillSurvey reviewed the student ratings of these
schools and now recognizes the top performers with the
highest-rated students from this group. These colleges and
universities have taken the lead to measure students' career
readiness in the competency areas that employers value most.
"Congratulations to the winners! We're thrilled to honor
institutions that are innovative in supporting career readiness
using SkillSurvey's solution, which provides students and campus
leaders with 'hard data on soft skills'" said Randy Bitting, Head and Co-Founder of Career
Readiness at SkillSurvey. "More than 170 higher ed partners are
using SkillSurvey to bring consistency in measuring students'
readiness for the workforce, and we want to highlight the Leaders
and Innovators for their results and commitment to student
success."
SkillSurvey Career Readiness provides career services, student
employment, and academic programs with individual Career Readiness
Reports and first-of-its-kind data to discover insights into how
'career ready' their institution's students are compared to
students nationally and to actual job candidates.
Employers providing supervisor ratings and evaluative feedback
via SkillSurvey encompass 20,000+ companies, government agencies
and non-profits. Amazon, Apple, Daimler, Google, International
Paper and Northwestern Mutual are among the top-20 companies
submitting the most feedback on students.

The dataset to identify top institution categories contained a
total of 39,135 students across 175 institutions of Higher
Education that had supervisor evaluations for at least 100
students. For each student, percentiles were computed based upon
their average numeric ratings as compared against the distribution
of ratings of all students. Institutions with the highest
percentage of students falling at or above the 90th percentile for
each educational institution were selected.
