Pathways to Essential Skills

Looking for an Essential Skills Assessment related to your industry?

Take a look at the TOWES Sector Series Assessments which target the following sectors:

• Manufacturing
• Office and Administration
• Aerospace
• Health Care
• Entrance into Apprenticeship.

These tests were developed using extensive research on the Reading Text, Document Use and Numeracy requirements of the occupations in the above industries. Each test targets the Essential Skills levels required by those occupations, and the documents used in the problem sets have been selected from the industry. The Sector Series assessments help show employers, sector councils, training departments and test takers how TOWES is relevant to their industry. As with any TOWES test, the test taker does not need any specific background knowledge of the sector to complete the assessment. The sector series assessment is a great option to keep in mind for clients with a career goal.

Also, don’t forget about the TOWES General Series assessments. The “G-Series” are by far our most popular assessments, and prove to be a great option for use in situations where clients may not have a career choice in mind, and is also good for testing large groups of varying ability.
