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.
