State Vocational Rehabilitation agencies servce a wide variety of often severly disabled persons. They need easy access to a wide range of occupation and labor market information to assist in the process of evaluating potential, establishing feasibility of a vocational plan with a clear vocational objective, and helping people find work at the completion of a training/re-training program. Flexible search strategies boost creativity in vocational planning. Online assessment, planning and placement services can often be billed out as a case service expenditure.
