GEPA℠ complements – not replaces – other popular assessments:

• GEPA℠ is the only assessment of its kind that measures an individual’s readiness to conduct a successful career and job search.
• Unlike the other assessments that end at a score sheet, GEPA℠ provides you with the comprehensive GEPA℠ Development Guide, which is full of templates, checklists, examples, and a customizable action plan to assist you in driving every step of your career search.

GEPA℠ takes about 40 minutes to complete online through our secure testing center, Measured Success™.

You get following powerful tools:

• An online assessment that takes about 40 minutes to complete and measures what a person does and does not know about the current and emerging best practices of conducting an effective career search;
• A downloadable Personal Score Report that shows how well the individual scored on his or her GEPA℠ Assessment, including detail about each question, and where to look in the GEPA℠ Development Guide to find the associated best practices;

• A downloadable GEPA℠ Development Guide, which is a “practical career search guide” containing all of the GEPA℠ best practices, how-to-examples, checklists, templates, and a personal GEPA℠ Action Planner, to help drive every step of a successful career search. Our 2016 edition explains more than 2,500 career and job search best practices, and is fully hyperlinked to assure easy navigation; and
• Online access to all resources for one year.

All of the GEPA℠ resources are available online once you’ve completed your assessment. They will remain accessible to you for a year. While they are copyright-protected materials, you may download them and save them to your computer’s hard drive for personal use.

GEPA℠ was developed to be used in a diagnostic-prescriptive environment, where individuals are assessed to identify the areas in which they most need help. Once the assessment identifies knowledge gaps, use the GEPA℠ Development Guide to fill the knowledge gap. Its guidance, collateral reading, links, templates, checklists, action plans, and examples serve as assignments for students to complete as part of their education.

We’ve developed curriculum that can cover single seminars to robust semester-long programs. Check out the details of the From Classroom to Career℠ curriculum currently in use at the collegiate level as part of an accredited program. Or contact us to learn more.

We offer GEPA℠ in two versions: a single, 50-question assessment that covers all five search competencies, and as five-10 question assessments, each 10-question assessment covering a single search competence.

This allows the flexibility in a learning, career coaching, or self-coaching environment for a participant to assess a specific competence, and then use the GEPA℠ Development Guide to improve knowledge and understanding about that competence, before moving to the next search competence.

Yes. We offer a GEPA℠ re-test for individuals who have completed an initial assessment. You can purchase it online at a considerable savings over the initial GEPA℠ Assessment. Please contact us for more information.
