Pre-Employment & Training Assessment

To aid employers in pinpointing the most qualified applicants, CareerSource Pasco Hernando offers free assessment tests used by many large corporations. These tests have met with legal scrutiny and have been proven invaluable in predicting the success of potential applicants.

Recruiting

Depending on your staffing needs, CareerSource Pasco Hernando may be able to help you qualify for tax breaks and/or hiring incentives. For example, employers who hire or have committed to employ those receiving temporary family assistance under the Welfare Transition (WT) program may qualify to receive benefits such as reductions and/or credits on sales, plus corporate and other taxes.

These employment programs can greatly benefit your business–especially when you consider that:

  • 76 percent of the WT participants have had workplace experience.


  • About half have completed high school (or GED) or received postsecondary education.



  • WT participants have received Job Readiness training.
