Vocational Assessment

Our Vocational Assessments are designed to evaluate an individual’s capabilities, work preferences, and potential career paths. We provide detailed reports that offer clear recommendations on suitable employment options, assisting clients in their return to work or career transitions.

At Rehabilitation Specialists, we understand that returning to work after an injury or a period of unemployment can be a complex journey. Our Vocational Assessment Services, available in the Sydney and Canberra regions and online throughout Australia, are designed to provide tailored support to individuals seeking to identify their career potential and navigate the job market effectively.

What is a Vocational Assessment?

A Vocational Assessment is a comprehensive evaluation that helps individuals understand their skills, interests, and capabilities in the context of the job market. Our assessments are thorough and encompass several critical components:

Standard Vocational Assessment

1. Transferable Skills Assessment: We analyze your existing skills and determine how they can be applied to various roles.

3. Employment History Evaluation: We look into your previous employment and training history to identify relevant experiences.
4. Skills and Qualifications Review: An assessment of your skills, qualifications, and any certifications you may hold.
5. Literacy and Numeracy Skills: We evaluate your literacy, numeracy, and computer skills to ensure you meet job requirements.
6. Interest Identification: Through discussions and potential interest testing, we help pinpoint realistic employment and training options aligned with your passions.
7. Job Seeking Skills Review: An analysis of your current job-seeking abilities to identify areas for improvement.
