Vocational Counseling

Vocational Counseling (also known as vocational rehabilitation) is often provided following an accident or development of a disability in order to help an individual transition to return to work, either their former position, with or without accommodations or a new job. In order to assist with vocational counseling, the counselor must determine an individual’s abilities, aptitudes, and skills through a vocational assessment. Counselors use both standard (tests) and non-standard (interviews, observations) approaches to obtain information. Results of these tests allow for strengths, needs, and career potentials to be evaluated. It can also help determine whether an individual is a good candidate for vocational training and has any interest in vocational benefits. The counselor can also determine if there are any barriers to learning that will need to be addressed prior to the start of a vocational program.
