The Problem
Employers are shifting to skills-based hiring, and “human skills” like collaboration, communication, critical thinking, creativity, and productivity rank highly among them.
-
Human Skills Proficiency
According to the American Association of Colleges & Universities, as of 2025 only 11% of business leaders believe college graduates are adequately prepared for the workforce, with 60% of employers reporting new hires lack critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
-
Measuring Human Skills Gaps
Until now, there has been no real way to measure applied human skills so students and career support offices can identify and address gaps while they still have time to do something about it.
-
Guessing at Skills
Students graduate without knowing their human skill levels, which skills they've developed, and where they can improve.
-
Limited Tools
Career services teams are asked to prove recommendations and outcomes with limited tools or insights.
