WOWI Assessment

WOWI has allowed me to cut out a couple additional tests I’ve been using, and on average so far is saving me 45 minutes to an hour in actual testing. And, while I know y’all have ample data comparing WOWI with other tests—I can definitely corroborate that now.

Incorporating the World of Work Inventory as an essential tool for mining crucial vocational information, has proven to be insightful and empowering. It brings a level of sophistication, yet maintains its simplicity and succinctness in career planning and important discussions of vocational direction and support to our clients.

I would wholeheartedly recommend WOWI for any organisation. It provides a reliable profile of individuals and accurately predicts if they will settle into your organisation and be a long-term success. I’d place its value ahead of any other provider in this space.

Thank you WOWI!

The information provided in the WOWI reports really sticks with you! I think the WOWI would be beneficial for all high school students in our state to give them a different perspective on their career interests and the importance of understanding their work style.

We are using WOWI a lot in our Job Search Workshops. Customers love it. WOWI offers positive and uplifting assessment language.

—Darlene Hunter

The WOWI comes complete. It is a more functional assessment having aptitude, work style, and career interests in one assessment rather than piecing together separate inventories. The WOWI gives us a great tool to work with as we help students find their path.

—Lee Rose

The WOWI website is user-friendly and easy to administer. We have many customers who are unsure about their career paths and are looking for assistance in determining which direction to take. It’s exciting to have a tool available that may be so helpful in meeting this need.

Accessibility

As a provider of services to the blind and visually impaired, we recognize the importance of accessibility in assisting our clients in achieving independence. The ease with which our clients can navigate WOWI's website using JAWS and other screen readers has been a significant factor in helping our clients achieve autonomy.

—Dawn Jones
Manager of Employment Services and Performance Management
Cleveland Sight Center

My colleagues and I are very pleased with the way WOWI staff is so accommodating to the accessibility needs of those people who are blind and visually impaired, even modifying specific web features to be user friendly to those relying on screenreading software. Kudos to WOWI for excellent flexibility and responsiveness.

—Tony Jorgensen
Training Manager
Lighthouse for the Blind

We like the WOWI because it assesses so many different aspects of the individual’s interests, aptitudes, and personality to generate career options. It is not timed so can be used for clients who read slower or have dexterity issues such as individuals with Cerebral Palsy (CP).

—Becki Hoff
Regional Administrator
North Dakota Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR)

WOWI’s comprehensive assessment provides good career information and feedback to those we serve and fits in well with our agency’s goals. WOWI has become a very useful and easy to use tool in our toolbox. I very much appreciate you making the WOWI administration process so user friendly. Rock On!
