The Employable Skills Self-Efficacy Survey

“The Employable Skills Self-Efficacy Survey: An Assessment of and Resource for Fostering Skill Development” (2017) by Natalie J. Ciarocco and David B. Strohmetz (Monmouth University) is a 14-page resource that contains a 51-item inventory that assesses four domains of employable skills, including communication, analytical inquiry, collaboration and professional development. The assessment can be used flexibly: to help departments identify opportunities for curricular or programmatic improvements, to build students’ marketable skills, to evaluate specific skill-building classroom activities, and to help students promote their acquired skills to potential employers and internship sites. It was supported by a 2016 Instructional Resource Award. The resource is available onlineopens in new window.
