Job Ready 3.0 – Workforce Intelligence Platform For Your Region
The Challenge
Workforce boards are under pressure to increase job placements and WIOA compliance reporting while managing shrinking staff capacity. Current eligibility assessment processes take 3–4 hours per participant — requiring in-person proctoring, manual paperwork, and counselor time that should be spent on coaching. Boards need faster eligibility processing, automated career pathways, and better placement outcomes — all with less staff time.
How We Solve
HiddenTalent.ai replaces the 3–4 hour manual eligibility and assessment process with a WIOA-approved, AI-enabled online skills and career assessment that takes 45 minutes — no in-person proctoring required. The platform then generates personalized career pathways, maps participants to ETPL-approved training programs, and automates WIOA reporting and compliance — while providing AI career coaching and job application tools to increase placement rates.
Workforce participants begin with a fast, AI-powered assessment that measures:
- Interests & values
- Personality & work style
- Skills (hard, technical, behavioral, cognitive)
- Career readiness
- Training preparedness
- Barriers to employment
The system automatically generates a Career & Skills Profile for every participant.
Using real-time labor market data, the platform:
- Identifies in-demand roles in the local region
- Matches individuals to the best-fit job titles
- Highlights skills gaps preventing employment
