VOCATIONAL EVALUATION
What is a vocational evaluation?
A vocational evaluation helps you discover a career and/or education path that is a good fit for you based on your work history, interests, aptitudes and abilities. The evaluation will help you determine if there are any areas to work on before you start a job or training program.
Your vocational rehabilitation counselor will use the information learned during the vocational evaluation process to create an individualized rehabilitation/employment plan best suited for you. The plan will include steps to help you achieve your employment goals.
What happens during a vocational evaluation?
We get to know you and your current situation by asking questions about your:
- Living situation
- Education/training history
- Work history and employment status
- Transportation availability
- Medical history
- Strengths and limitations
