Vocational Evaluation

When an individual is at a crossroads in their life, a comprehensive vocational evaluation can be a key step towards a more satisfying career path.

A vocational evaluation is typically a daylong process. This will begin with a 60 – 90 minute interview to gather background information which includes:

  • Family background

  • Medical history

  • Education

  • Work history

  • Vocational interest

Relevant Vocational Evaluation Testing

The rest of the evaluation time is tailored toward relevant testing. Tests are chosen to address an individual’s specific needs and can include:

  • Aptitude

  • Intelligence

  • Achievement (Reading, Spelling, Math)

  • Personality Characteristics

  • Work Values

  • Vocational Interests (likes/dislikes)

Following  the scoring and interpretation of testing, a report is prepared to  summarize the test results, address career recommendations, and  answer referral questions. A follow-up meeting with the client can occur  to map out a recommended vocational plan.
