Assessment 3
Overview

Complete a plan where you will identify three skills for development and reflect on your strengths and areas for growth as you move forward in your education and career.

What employability skills do you excel at? Which employability skills are more difficult for you? In this assessment, you will identify three of the skills that you would like to focus on and refine, and you will develop a plan to build those skills. As you think of which skills you would like to improve upon, consider choosing skills at varying levels. You might, for example, choose a skill that you are already strong in, but would like to continue exploring and building, as well as a skill where you might have more room for growth. Perhaps, you want to work on your ability to learn new technologies and be confident in dealing with technical challenges. Or, you find that you are usually productive but are looking for more effective ways to organize your time and plan your work activities. By completing this assessment, you will have a tangible plan for personal and professional development that you can review with the Career Center team.

A staffing firm provides landscaping services for clients on an ongoing basis. The staffing firm selects and pays the workers, provides health insurance, and withholds taxes. The firm provides the equipment and supplies necessary to do the work. It also supervises the workers on the clients’ premises. Client A reserves the right to direct the staffing-firm workers to perform particular tasks at particular times or in a specified manner, although it does not generally exercise that authority. Client A evaluates the quality of the workers’ performance and regularly reports its findings to the firm. It can require the firm to remove a worker from the job assignment if it is dissatisfied.

How do you determine who is the employer of the workers?
