Bridging The Skill Gap: Leveraging The NACE Competency Assessment Tool

Since unveiling its groundbreaking partnership with NACE last spring, Suitable has been been hard at work implementing this tool at numerous institutions around the country, helping them bridge the skills gap, and providing unprecedented access to student competency development data.

Additionally, through many years of research and thanks to the help of more than 100 institutions, NACE developed the game-changing NACE Competency Assessment Tool, which will benefit all NACE members by providing national benchmarks around student competency proficiency.

Through this exclusive partnership with NACE, Suitable schools will now have the option to integrate the NACE Competency Assessment Tool into their dashboard for students to use. The NACE Competency Assessment Tool will help students understand how career ready they are following an internship, co-op, or on-campus job. It will also give schools data on how their students compare to other students nationally across the eight NACE competencies.
