ETS launches Global Employability Test 2025 to assess workforce competence
ETS, through its India-based subsidiary Wheebox, has announced the latest edition of its Global Employability Test (GET 2025), aimed at assessing workforce readiness through a multidimensional framework. The test is developed as part of ETS's broader strategy to extend its assessment capabilities beyond academia and into the employability and workforce domain.
GET 2025 is open for registration to academic institutions and skilling organisations. The test can be scheduled flexibly and delivered entirely online, making it accessible for a wide range of learners. The 2025 edition was launched in conjunction with World Youth Skills Day, reinforcing the emphasis on measurable employability outcomes in today's dynamic job market.
The assessment was initially introduced as the Wheebox National Employability Test (WNET) and has developed over 12 years into a globally validated benchmark, as per a statement. It is now used by higher education institutions across several countries, claims ETS. The latest version retains ETS's rigorous standards while improving user experience through streamlined delivery and diagnostics.
GET 2025 is a 60-minute, adaptive online assessment designed to evaluate job readiness across five core dimensions. These include Cognitive Ability, Communication Skills, Future Skills such as AI, Cybersecurity, and Digital and Financial Literacy, Core Functional Knowledge, and Workforce Behavioral Traits.
The adaptive format adjusts questions based on user responses in real time, providing a personalized evaluation of a candidate's employability.
Each participant receives a Candidate Development Report, which includes real-time scoring and benchmarking against a global peer group. This allows institutions and individuals to identify strengths and development areas with immediate feedback.
The test is supported by multiple stakeholders, including the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), Association of Indian Universities (AIU), and the recruitment platform Taggd. These partnerships aim to ensure the test remains aligned with current industry requirements and can be scaled effectively across educational and skilling institutions.
