Self-Assessment Tool

The following is a self-assessment chart you can modify and use with your staff. The chart gives individuals an opportunity to think about and assess their skill level and to identify areas where they want or need additional training.

Please place a check mark in the column that best describes your skill level and experience for each of the seven competencies listed below. This information will help us determine the best training programs to offer in the future to meet the needs of our staff.
