Staff Skills Assessment

Most jobs at L.A. Care combine general core skills, software applications and specific technical or professional knowledge. I am in the process of doing an assessment for this fiscal year's training program. In order to offer your staff the kind of training that will benefit them in their job responsibilities and personal growth, your assistance in filling out these 4 questions will be most helpful.

Rate your overall department staff on each of the core skills below.
