Training Services: Assessment
Varsity’s training assessment is a structured engagement that reveals where your teams are today, what they must learn next, and how to deliver training that sticks. We utilize brief employee surveys, review key policies and procedures, and interview business process owners to determine needs. The output is a training plan that directly addresses those needs.

Our Multi-Modal Assessment Approach
1. Employee surveys
Employee surveys (10–12 minutes) capture self-reported confidence by role, task, and tool; offered anonymously and mobile-friendly.
2. Document review
Document review of items like policies, SOPs, job aids, onboarding checklists, and other operational documentation surfaces gaps, overlap, and outdated materials.
3. Stakeholder interviews
Stakeholder interviews with business process owners in finance, programs, development, HR, and IT uncover goals and constraints. We identify quick, impactful training wins to build momentum without creating undue disruption.

How it works
- Week 1: Kickoff, data and document intake, survey launch; confirm goals, constraints, and sensitive time windows.
- Week 2: Stakeholder interviews and observations where appropriate.
- Week 3: Synthesis: Build training plan and review with key stakeholders
- Week 4: Executive readout: present recommendations, finalize plan, and establish training dates.
What makes this assessment different
- Context first: We map training to the actual tasks people perform in your systems, not generic “course lists.”
- Adult learning principles: Recommendations favor microlearning, practice, and spaced reinforcement over long, passive sessions.
- Operations-aware: Calendars respect program seasons, grant cycles, school breaks, and other logistical needs.
- Data-informed: Where available, we use operational data to target the few behaviors that will move outcomes the most.

- Users gain confidence in daily tools and workflows.
