VOCATIONAL ASSESSMENTS

A vocational assessment provides information about an individual’s skills, abilities and interests, and identifies possible career paths the individual could pursue. An assessment might be undertaken as a result of a personal decision to change careers or at certain milestones, such as completion of an educational or training program, or following an injury, which necessitates occupational change.

• Formulation of vocational profile based on findings.
