Future Skills Readiness Assessment

Your org chart shows who holds each role. It doesn't show who's ready for it.

Assess real capability, build it week by week, see it in everyday behaviour, and prove what changed.

Only 10%

of HR and L&D leaders are fully confident their workforce has the skills to meet business goals in the next 12–24 months.

Skillsoft, 2025: survey of 1,000 HR and L&D professionals in the US, UK, Germany and Australia.

Most assessments stop at a score.

Capability is hard to see, and the skills that matter keep shifting. Test scores say one thing, managers say another, and day-to-day behaviour says something else.

So the report gets filed, nothing changes, and development budget ends up in the wrong place.

We built the Future Skills Readiness Assessment to join it all up.

How it works

One joined-up cycle, not a one-off test.

Five steps, repeated every cycle, so you can see progress instead of guessing at it.

1

Assess

People work through realistic situations from their own workplace. It shows how they think, not what they can remember. Answers produced with AI help are detected, so results reflect each person's own judgement.

See results straight away

Strengths and gaps show up immediately, for each person and across the whole group, so you can see where development will make the biggest difference.

Grow with a personal plan

Everyone gets their own Growth Plan: focused modules and short People-Centric videos, matched to their results and worked through week by week.

Check it's sticking

The people they work with rate the behaviours they actually see, so you know whether learning is turning into action, not just knowledge.

Measure what changed

Reassess and see exactly what has improved and what to work on next. That's the evidence your leadership team will ask for.

What we measure

Five capability areas that matter for what's next.

Capabilities can be tailored fully to your frameworks. Each person gets a score and a readiness level for every area, not a vague overall grade.

FAQ

Questions we're often asked.

How long does it take?

About 15–45 minutes, depending on what you want to assess and develop. You can stop and come back later, and your progress saves as you go.

What kind of questions are they?

Realistic workplace scenarios. Each one asks what you would actually do, so it shows how you think rather than what you can remember.

Can people use AI to answer?

AI-assisted answers are detected. Participants are asked to answer from their own judgement, so the results are a true picture.

Can you use our competency framework?

Yes. For team assessments, we map every question to your framework, values and language. It can be fully tailored to where you need your teams to be to thrive in today and tomorrow's world.

What happens after the assessment?

Each person receives their individual reports. Participants work through their Growth Plan, colleagues give behaviour feedback (if required), and a reassessment shows what has changed. HR & L&D can create workshops built from the results — or People-Centric would be happy to do this for you.
