Info
The Employment Readiness Model™ was developed and validated based on international research in Australia, Canada, Sweden, the UK, and the US. The ERS assessment tool was established through three years of field research with clients on income assistance and unemployment insurance, ranging in age from 14 to 65. The two co-founders of ERS Scale Inc., Valerie Ward and Dr. Dorothy Riddle undertook the field research and testing of the Scale under the sponsorship of the Departments of the Federal Government of Canada and the Government of British Columbia. Indigenous clients and clients with disabilities were well represented in these studies. A follow-up study of the ERS demonstrated 79% accuracy in predicting which clients would be successfully employed within 12 weeks and still be employed at the end of six months.
