Course Title: Designing an Assessment Strategy

Course Description: This workshop, led by two Industrial Organizational Psychologists, is designed to provide agency executives, hiring managers, and HR managers / professionals with a broad overview of assessment options, as well as variables to consider when developing an assessment strategy. This training lays a foundation for designing an assessment strategy by defining assessment, its importance, barriers to effective assessment, and considerations for selecting and developing assessments. Next, the trainers discuss a variety of assessment tool options. For each assessment tool, the trainers outline strengths and considerations, and provide sample items. In addition, the trainers discuss the multiple hurdles approach as a common assessment strategy and provide case examples. Finally, the trainers walk through questions to consider when building an assessment strategy and implementation considerations.
