Development Concepts Information

Development Concepts develops EEOC-compliant content-validated technical knowledge, skill and ability assessments for use in candidate selection processes as well as determining incumbent training needs. We specialize in industrial and transit assessments, with clients ranging from the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority to Alcoa, spanning jobs from diesel bus mechanic to industrial electrician. Use of a content-validated assessment assures the client that a complete linkage is established between the written expectations of the job, the observed actual tasks and activities of the job and the content of the assessment, and that the content of the assessment reflects the important job activities, knowledge, skills and abilities. In this way, candidate scores truly represent their potential performance on the job. Development Concepts also has an array of "off-the-shelf" technical assessments that can be revised to suit special needs or used as-is for circumstances where a validated assessment is not desired.
