Vocational Evaluation
What job suits you? This is the question we help you
answer with vocational evaluation.
Standardized tests are used to find out where your
strengths and weaknesses lie and the results are matched against
a list of hundreds of different jobs. This gives us an idea of what
you can do, and what training could work for you. If you're physically
strong and good with tools, you might like a job in the trades,
such as welder, electrician, or mason. If you use a wheelchair and
are good with your hands, a sit down job like sewing or parts assembly
job may be for you. Do you have a good head for numbers? Perhaps
a career in accounting or inventory management is for you. The possibilities
are endless.
Vocational evaluation may also identify any special
obstacles. For example, you might have a learning disability such
as dyslexia, or perhaps you have a mental health challenge such
as depression.
The goal of evaluation is to identify where you are
strong and where you need support. From there, we can help you work
toward your job goal.
