The system, implemented by a consortium of companies led by computer-based testing firm Prometric, relies on Saba's enterprise learning software to manage learner assessments, certifications, profiles and competencies. The initiative also includes the creation of SkillsMAX centers at Ohio's two-year colleges, where students will work with consultants to assess their skills, create job profiles and perform gap analysis.
"We will leverage the Internet-based, scalable Saba architecture to effectively measure and manage workforce competencies throughout our campuses," said Matt Stencil, SkillsMAX director for EON, which is sponsored by the Ohio Board of Regents.
