Vocational Assessment and Testing

A vocational assessment measures the injured worker’s likelihood to return to work. Testing can provide an objective way to evaluate the injured worker’s personality/temperament, achievement, education/intelligence level, vocational aptitude, interests and lifestyle as they relate to today’s workforce. Determining the injured worker’s appropriateness for placement into a job (either directly or with training) and returning the injured worker to suitable and gratifying employment is the most important part of the case manager’s work.
