Vocational Rehabilitation Services
A Vocational Specialist is familiar with the labour market; employment income projections; as well as the prerequisite skills, training and experience required to qualify towards any identified and targeted occupations.
The Vocational Specialist evaluates the person’s abilities, interests, education, experience and other qualifications in consideration of the current employment market. They assess the likelihood that a person can secure employment, and what she/he can expect to earn, both immediately and in the long term.
In a divorce proceeding, information and evaluations from a vocational expert can be presented to the Court for consideration in determining spousal and child support payments.
Four important reasons to consider a Vocational Specialist:
- To provide another opinion if your client’s spouse is retaining a vocational expert, or if a vocational evaluation is Court-ordered.
- To evaluate employability or earning capacity after a change in life circumstances.
- To obtain an objective, professional assessment of your Client’s and/ or your Client’s spouse’s earning potential.
- To obtain a realistic idea of your Client’s employability and earning potential.
