The Skills Profiler is based on questionnaires and data originally produced by the O*NET consortium, a project produced and funded by the U.S. Department of Labor, the Employment and Training Administration, and the Office of Policy and Research (OPR). The original questionnaires and ratings were created through Department of Labor grants with the National O*NET Consortium, National Center for O*NET Development; the North Carolina Employment Security Commission, Southern Assessment Research and Development Center; the Utah Department of Employment Security, Western Assessment Research and Development Center; the New York Department of Labor, Eastern Assessment Research and Development Center; and the Michigan Employment Security Commission, Northern Assessment Research and Development Center.
