Certified Rehabilitation Counselor Practice

Specifying significant vocational skills is important in which part of the Train, Place, Train, Follow up approach?

1. Job retention

2. Job placement

3. Surveying potential employers

4. Job site training

The correct answer is: Surveying potential employers

The "Train, Place, Train, Follow up" approach is designed to facilitate successful employment outcomes for individuals with disabilities or those facing vocational barriers. Specifying significant vocational skills is crucial during the process of surveying potential employers. This stage involves understanding the job market and the specific skills required for various positions, which allows rehabilitation counselors to identify employers that align well with the skills of the individuals they are assisting. By pinpointing these essential skills, counselors can effectively match clients with suitable job opportunities, ensuring a better fit and increasing the likelihood of job placement success. The other stages, while important in their own right, do not focus as directly on identifying vocational skills in relation to employer needs. Job retention emphasizes strategies for maintaining employment, job placement centers on the actual act of securing a position, and job site training involves direct instruction at the workplace after placement. None of these aspects address the preliminary need for aligning vocational skills with employer expectations as thoroughly as surveying potential employers does.
