Job Profiling and Assessment System RFP
The purpose of this RFP is to select a vendor that can satisfy the State’s need for a Job
Profiling and Assessment System. It is the intent of DWD to contract with a vendor that
will provide a quality Job Profiling and Assessment System for DWD.
For the purpose of this Request for Proposal (RFP) no new development or
customization is anticipated. DWD is seeking a fully developed commercial off the shelf
(COTS) system/process that has two components:
1. Job Profiling Component.
The job profiling tool or process must identify the skill requirements and levels
required to perform successfully in a specific occupation. It is anticipated that
over 60 job profiles will be performed annually.
2. Foundational Skill Assessments that map to the Job Profiles and training
resources.
The assessment tool(s) will be utilized to measure the current workplace skills of a diverse group of workers that include the employed, unemployed and
underemployed workers who have varying degrees of education and abilities. The
assessment results will be used to identify skill gaps and training needs, for hiring
decisions, to promote economic development, and to develop training solutions in
conjunction with the profiling results. It is estimated that at least 120,000
assessments will be given each year.
