Job Ready 3.0 – Workforce Intelligence Platform For Your Region

The Challenge
Workforce boards are under pressure to increase job placements and WIOA compliance reporting while managing shrinking staff capacity. Manual intake and assessment workflows often require in-person proctoring, paperwork, and counselor time that should be spent on coaching. Boards need faster intake support, clearer career pathways, and better placement workflows — all with less staff time.
How We Solve
HiddenTalent.ai supports boards with an AI-enabled online skills and career assessment — no in-person proctoring required. The platform then generates personalized career pathways, maps participants to programs listed on the applicable ETPL, and helps automate WIOA reporting workflows — while providing AI career coaching and job application tools to support placement. Eligibility and funding decisions remain with the applicable workforce agency.
Workforce participants begin with a fast, AI-powered assessment that measures:
- Interests & values
- Personality & work style
- Skills (hard, technical, behavioral, cognitive)
- Career readiness
- Training preparedness
- Barriers to employment
The system automatically generates a Career & Skills Profile for every participant.

Using real-time labor market data, the platform:
- Identifies in-demand roles in the local region
- Matches individuals to the best-fit job titles
- Highlights skills gaps preventing employment
- Shows salary ranges and growth potential
- Prioritizes jobs that may relate to funding or employer hiring initiatives

HiddenTalent.ai connects participants to:
