Exciting news – Illinois workNet will launch a new Interest Profiler on June 9, 2026! These online short questionnaires will help you discover work-related interests and explore career options that are a good fit for you. The tool will be available to anyone with an Illinois workNet account.

In the coming months, we will phase out the current Skills and Interests Surveys, hosted by CIS360, as the new tool designed specifically for Illinois workNet is introduced. While CIS Skills and Interests 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.

Results from Skills and Interests Surveys must be downloaded by June 8, 2026. Once the new Interest Profiler is launched, the CIS Skills and Interests Surveys will no longer be available on your Illinois workNet Dashboard.

Join us for an informational webinar on April 21, 2026 at 11:00 am about upcoming changes to the Skills and Interests Surveys. Illinois workNet users and partners are invited to learn what to expect as the Skills and Interests Surveys are phased out and the new Interest Profiler becomes available, including key dates and necessary actions to prepare for the change. A walkthrough will demonstrate how to download existing results from the Skills and Interests Surveys to ensure you can retain information. If you are unable to attend, the webinar will be recorded and uploaded to our YouTube channel and added to the Skills & Interests Surveys Information Hub.
