Intensive Career Exploration Program

Vocational Evaluation, is an integral part of the Vocational Rehabilitation Process. Through career counseling, the purpose of the Intensive Career Exploration Program is to identify potential employment alternatives (2-3) by having clients assess and explore their strengths, skills, learning styles, passions and interests and how they can relate to employment alternatives identified. Over a period of 6-8 weeks, the Intensive Career Exploration Program uses several tools, including Essential Skills Profiles, to identify suitable occupations, and establish contact with employers within the identified occupations. The client will have the opportunity to experience clinical and community exploration in order to identify suitable occupations and to obtain specific information from the employer community.

CVE’s Voc. Lite Evaluation

CVE’s Voc Lite Assessment (VLA) identifies suitable employment alternatives for an individual based on the transferable skills developed over the course of his/her working life. The VLA works with the individual to identify possible realistic employment alternatives by ensuring the individual has a clear understanding of their marketable skills that they have acquired over their working life. The use of the Literacy and Essential Skills Profile through discussion, yields more effective results than the more generalized TSA as the individual plays a key role in identifying the alternate employment options. They are able to do this as they now have a quantifiable measure of their essential skills that can be easily applied in other occupations. This product is very effective for individuals who are having to seek out alternative employment and are unsure where they may look.

The resulting profile then can be used to identify suitable employment alternatives that an individual would be able to pursue. Earning potential is also taken into consideration and reported.

Transferable Skills Analysis (TSA)

CVE’s formal Transferable Skills Analysis (TSA) process consists of compiling occupations from the NOC (National Occupational Dictionary)* and the Office of Literacy and Essential Skills^t to represent a person’s work history, and analyzing the work activities a person has performed in the previous jobs, along with the objects upon which the work activities were performed (Materials, Products, Subject Matter, and Services). These data are then used to identify a set of occupations that an individual should be able to perform. If an individual has been injured or otherwise disabled, their residual functional capacities can also be considered by adjusting the worker traits associated with their Dictionary of Occupational Titles (DOT) work history. This process is frequently utilized for individuals who cannot attend or are unwilling to participate in an assessment.

Labour Market Research (LMR)

CVE’s Labour Market Research (LMR) service is a necessary and vital part of our vocational specialist’s role in identifying suitable occupations for individuals in the community. What enhances CVE’s LMR program is acknowledging that 90% of job opportunities exist within the hidden job market and being willing and able to diligently explore this market effectively is the key to success. This in turn allows the specialist to further encourage an individual to participate in a vocational rehab program by showing that opportunities do exist no matter the impairment or disability. Information gathered from the research also allows for specific formal training to be recommended and/or arranged, further enhancing an individual’s successful return to work. As part of CVE’s LMR, the vocational specialist also makes personal contact with potential employers in the identified vocational areas to ascertain job availability, hiring trends, research into salary, and the physical demands of the employment.

Cognitive Work Hardening Program

CVE’s Work Hardening Programs refer to conditioning programs for injured individuals who are out of work, or who are working at less than full capacity. CVE has two types of Cognitive Work Hardening Programs:

Clinically Based Work Hardening Program
Community Based Work Hardening Program

Clinically Based Work Hardening Program

Highly specialized cognitive conditioning program that transitions the individual from standard rehabilitation to return to work by simulating workplace activities and surroundings in a structured, supportive and monitored environment. Best suited for individuals who have received physical or psychological services and need further practice or strategies learnt in therapy in a controlled, simulated workplace environment. An initial assessment is completed by an occupational therapist to determine activity tolerances and workplace barriers. A customized program is then formulated which includes a systematic program of gradually progressive, work-related activities performed with the goal of psychologically reconditioning the individual in order to facilitate future return to employment in a competitive workplace setting. The program can be adapted to individuals requiring specialized equipment or assistive devices.

Community Based Work Hardening Program

Under the guidance and supervision of an Occupational Therapist and vocational counsellor an employer is selected from the community to assist in enhancing an individual’s competitive workplace skills by allowing them to practice in an actual workplace setting. Best suited for individuals who have completed all traditional therapies and require more time to build physical, cognitive and/or psychological tolerance. Employers are chosen based on similarities with the individual’s pre-accident employment tasks and responsibilities. This program provides an individual with an opportunity to practice work related activities prior to engaging in a gradual return-to-work program with their pre-injury employer. Also, this program is suited for individuals whom a gradual return to work is not currently possible with their employer.
