    Workforce Development

    Business Development and Industry Training Programs

    The Workforce Development team at the University of Arkansas - Cossatot Community College works with companies and their employees to become more competitive through quality, cost-effective manager, supervisor, and employee training. Like the clients we serve, our training events are customer-driven. We do not operate on UAC's college schedule – we operate on the client's schedule, providing customized services relevant to their specific needs.

    Our skilled training program and service coordinators welcome the opportunity to:

    • Meet with your business representatives to determine your exact needs - whether in employee training, training for managers and supervisors, or on skills like communication in the workplace
    • Locate the best possible facilitator for your specialized training program
    • Design a curriculum and presentation method best suited to your needs
    • Schedule the best time and location for your training
    • Use the latest technologies and training aids to enhance the instruction
    • Deliver a complete package of training
    • Offer the best and most-economical pricing for the highest quality of instruction

    Assessment Services (Pre-Employment & Incumbent Skills and Aptitude Testing)

    Gain added confidence when making hiring decisions by using in-depth analyses and testing to assess whether or not an applicant/employee has the skill set match for a specific job.  

    The UAC Workforce Development coordinators are happy to assist with:

    • Developing and administering various types of pre-employment testing assessments --- written and hands-on --- to verify that your applicants have the current working knowledge and job skills for your specific position(s)
    • Utilizing the Arkansas Career Readiness Certificate (CRC) to verify applicants have basic workplace and problem-solving skills: Reading for Information, Applied Mathematics, and Locating Information.
    • Accessing a wide array of ACT WorkKeys assessment tools to measure real-world 'soft' skills and the natural aptitude of applicants that may be critical to overall job success.

    The nine foundational skills for assessment according to the CRC are as follows:

    • Applied Mathematics
    • Applied Technology
    • Business Writing
    • Listening for Understanding
    • Locating Information
    • Workplace Observation
    • Reading for Information
    • Teamwork

    There are also three soft skills for assessment:

    • Fit
    • Talent
    • Performance

    Job Placement Services

    Job Profiling Services

The Workforce Development coordinators are happy to assist with job consultancy and job profiling services for your business.  Job profiling is very beneficial to clients for efficiency in selection, hiring, and training purposes.
