Skills & Interests Surveys Information Hub

​​
Overview
The current Skills and Interests Surveys, hosted by CIS360​, will soon be replaced by the new Illinois workNet Interest Profiler. In the coming months, we will phase out the current CIS Skills and Interests Surveys as we introduce a new tool specifically designed for Illinois workNet.

While the CIS Skills and Interest Surveys will still be available through the Illinois Career Information System (CIS), which is provided by the Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES), they will no longer be connected to your Illinois workNet account once the new Interest Profiler is launched.

We are excited to offer new online short questionnaires that will help you discover your work-related interests and explore career options that are a good fit for you.

Announcements
This Information Hub will be updated with announcements, materials, and answers to commonly asked questions. Please check back as updates will be posted now through July 2026.​
