In
conjunction with leading test publisher Psytech International, AMC
has developed an innovative assessment tool to measure the abilities and
occupational interests of young people. GeneSys Educational has been designed
to accurately predict career suitability and training aptitude to assist
careers guidance and advice specialists, education and training providers
and employers. Following its recent launch, GeneSys Educational has already
been widely acclaimed across the Connexions Service and by a number of Training
Provider Networks. The assessment relies on either conventional or computerised
methods of administration with software that is easy to install and use
which takes care of the entire process – namely scoring, interpretation
and data management.Flexible and cost-effective, GeneSys Educational provides a quick and comprehensive picture for both the pre and post 16 range, offering up to 30% of pre-initial assessment toolkit and identifying personal work needs, vocational interests, job suggestions, NVQ levels/programmes and skill requirements. The general ability assessments include verbal, numerical and abstract reasoning. Commenting on behalf of Connexions Cheshire & Warrington, Assessment Manager, Paul Wilkinson reflected, "GeneSys Educational brings objective insights to the advice and guidance process which can only lead to improved employment and learning choices and increased achievement and retention levels."
Plans are already underway for the development of the assessment tool for use with adults. Additional assessments undergoing research for the GeneSys Educational platform include, Values and Motives, Learning Styles, Basic Skills, Key Skills, Gifted and Talented and Pre-Level 1.
