assessment centers
definition: The assessment center is a methodology used to select, promote, and develop people, usually managers, in an organization. From the earliest efforts in the 1930s and 1940s in the military, aimed at selecting officers and key operatives for highly sensitive missions, to the first systematic application in the organizational setting in the 1950s, the assessment center has become a familiar tool for skills evaluation.
