What is a suitable job?

• It must be within your physical and emotional capabilities.
  
• It must match your pattern of skills, talents, and interests.

What training might I expect to receive with the support of the vocational rehabilitation program?

Since an individual’s program goal is always entry into a suitable job, the individual’s rehabilitation services plan will always involve the completion of whatever training is necessary to successfully compete for entry into the identified area of work.

A process that includes the identification of your current skills, based on your personal history and information gathered through testing, your personal strengths, and your pattern(s) of interest will provide the foundation upon which you with the help of your counselor will build your individual rehabilitation services plan. That plan will establish an employment goal and will include whatever training may be necessary to achieve your goal.

If you are entitled, the program will support the completion of whatever training is needed. That may be no training, on the job training, technical training, college training, or some program of training designed to meet your unique needs.

The important thing to remember is that the completion of training is not the goal of the vocational rehabilitation program but rather must be needed in preparation for getting the job that is the goal.
