SkillTRAN is delighted to continue to re-engineer the most powerful suite of online products ever assembled for rehabilitation, forensic, and career professionals.
Former customers of CAPCO® / JobQuest® will quickly recognize these familiar reports and user interface. These are time-tested, integrated, defensible, and sensible reports, like none other. SkillTRAN's model of transferable skills analysis pioneered the "Classic Model" of transferability, using the Social Security definition of skills transferability (WORK fields and MPSMS codes). The Social Security definition (Code of Federal Regulations - [20 CFR 404.1568(d)] is the only legal definition of skills transfer known to SkillTRAN. Many SkillTRAN data files are regularly rebuilt for fresh labor market information. SkillTRAN has also restored the level of service and customer care that you deserve.
SkillTRAN has three secure online services - PPS, PREPOST, CCS and secure web-based services for Labor Market Information, Business Listings, and REAL JOB OPENINGS. Products differ by intended users of the product (both data entry and report interpretation).
- For rehabilitation personnel and forensic vocational experts, PPS and PREPOST are the products of choice
- For Career Guidance, Outplacement, Career Planning, and Divorce Cases, use CCS (for a non-disabled client)
- For all types of clients, use the web-based services for Labor Market Information and for Job Search
- All occupations found in the PPS and PREPOST services are automatically transferred to the new web-based service so that you do not have to enter in the DOT codes you want for additional Labor Market Information. You can also enter additional titles to the new web-based service.
PPS - Placement Planning Service
The Placement Planning Service is SkillTRAN's most powerful all-purpose product. It is designed for complete vocational planning and job placement solutions of all kinds of clients, particularly for persons with disabilities. It is the workhorse product most often used by vocational rehabilitation and case management professionals. PPS can identify feasible occupations for an individual using residual post-injury capacities, transferable skills from past work history, preferences, and/or interests. PPS has built-in support for storage of client data.
- Generates a report intended for professional use and interpretation
- Transferable Skills Analysis (Classic WORK and MPSMS Model)
- Interest Searches (Using GOE codes or key words of interest)
- Custom Searches (User selected categories to search)
- Compare a client's background to an Intended Vocational Goal

PREPOST is used by vocational experts and attorneys in litigated cases including: worker compensation, personal injury, medical malpractice, and product liability. The PREPOST analysis quickly documents many critical vocational issues in a clear, defensible report. PREPOST analysis is based on true transferable skills (the Classic WORK Field/MPSMS Model) and is appropriate for individuals with a significant work history and/or a clear cut career path. Local labor market information estimates differences in pre-injury vs. post-injury wages by occupational group.
- Generates a report intended for professional use and interpretation
- Classic Transferable Skills Analysis - 8 simultaneous searches
- Adjusts for Pre-Injury and Post-Injury characteristics
- Determines Pre-Injury vs. Post-Injury Occupational Access using Transferable Skills
- Separately Examines unskilled occupations (optional)

Career Consulting Service
CCS identifies occupations a non-disabled person can do using transferable skills and interests from past work experience and training. The report generated by CCS IS EASILY INTERPRETED BY THE CLIENT. The report encourages active, self-directed client decision making. It is best when followed up with the labor market information available in the new web-based service after the client has narrowed vocational choices down to a few realistic possibilities. CCS is designed for high volume processing of cases in outplacement, transition assistance, welfare return-to-work, schools, military --> civilian transition, etc.
If a client has a disabling condition, use PPS instead for career planning purposes. The PPS report will require professional input and interpretation. CCS may also be useful in divorce cases, as it considers occupations within a narrow band of transferability and interests.
- Generates a self-interpreting report intended for direct client interpretation and self-directed career planning
- Appropriate for all types of non-disabled workers
- Complete job descriptions for 12,741 occupations
- National and local employment projections
- Wage information creates realistic understanding of the local labor market in many locations
- Encourages career decision making based on local realities
