The Job Skills Education Program (JSEP) created for the US Army, is a large-scale, computer- based educational program designed for soldiers who need instruction in the basic skills required for their jobs. A unique aspect of JSEP is that it is built upon a very detailed front-end analysis of baseline academic skills related to job performance.

JSEP is controlled by a computer-based management system that provides diagnosis, prescriptions, help, tracking, and reports. The program is self-paced and individualized and allows open entry and open exit. The computer-based lessons and the management system currently run on the MicroTICCIT and the PLATO computer- based training systems.

The US Army funded a project to develop a civilian version of JSEP. Commercially distributed by Pearson Education Technologies, formerly Computer Curriculum Corporation and then NCS Learn, this functional basic skills program is used to prepare adults for vocational or job-specific training programs.
