Vocational rehabilitation is a process that prepares people for employment by helping them choose a vocational role and function that is consistent with their abilities, achievements, interests, and functioning capacity. The specific goals of a vocational rehabilitation program vary with the needs of the target population. The process includes the following services: vocational testing, assessment, counseling, pre-vocational activities, training, educational services, life skills/employability referrals, job referrals and placement, and post-placement counseling and follow-up. Programs provide these vocational rehabilitation services directly or by referring the client to an appropriate resource.
