Transferable Skills / Vocational Assessment

What is a Transferable Skills / Vocational Assessment?

Transferable Skills Assessments and Vocational Assessments are services aimed at assisting workers who are no longer able to return to work with their pre-injury employer, to identify fields of employment (Vocational Goals) in which they can seek new work. These assessments take into consideration factors such as a client’s previous work history, skills, interests, aptitudes, as well as the local labour market. In addition to these factors consideration is given to matching these factors with the clients’ physical and/or psychological level of functioning to ensure the suitability of the vocational goals identified.

These assessments can include various Occupational Interest Inventories and Aptitude/a\Ability tests and are tailored to suit the individual circumstances of each client.
