The document summarizes a job placement assessment used by the North Carolina Vocational Rehabilitation program. The assessment is administered to evaluate clients' job readiness and determine the level of support needed to obtain employment. It contains 14 questions on education, skills, abilities and organization. Counselors and Business Relations Representatives use the results along with interviews and observations to guide services. Scores above 84 require little assistance, 55-28 require some assistance, and below 28 require intensive support before working with a job coach. The assessment provides a baseline to help clients transition successfully back to work.
