Class Concept
Work in this class involves providing vocational evaluation services to individuals with a range of disabilities, educational levels, and work experience for the purpose of assessing the individual's potential for vocational training and employment or related rehabilitation services. Employees develop a formal evaluation plan utilizing medical, psychological, socio-economics, vocational, and educational information. Employees administer, score, and interpret a small variety of vocational interest, achievement, aptitude and psychometric tests within the scope of their role. Through testing, situational assessment and behavioral observation, employees assimilate information and provide a report of findings, implications, and recommendations for developing vocational rehabilitation goals, work adjustment training, placement in training programs, educational courses, supported employment, or competitive employment. Employees may modify and adapt tests to accommodate limitations imposed by different disabling conditions such as, but not limited to deafness, vision loss or blindness, paralysis, head injuries or learning disabilities. Employees report to a higher-level professional, supervisor or manager.
