Insurance Assessments

Advanced Career Education provides Vocational Assessments for a number of Insurance Companies

Vocational Assessments

Similar to an Initial Occupational Assessment (IOA). The purpose of this assessment is to identify a number of alternative work types that may be suitable for you or your Client based on their employment history, education, skill base and interests.

A full report is provided outlining vocational history, training, range of skills and any vocational barriers which may be preventing your Client from obtaining paid employment. The identified work type choices detail not only the reasons that the role has been chosen but clear strategies as to how the client may best progress to that particular work.

This service is suitable for Clients that may be unable to return to their positions due to injury or illness or for those that are unsure on the next step of their career future. It is an ideal way of engaging the client to start thinking about options, gaining confidence in their abilities and generating new ideas.

Normally only one appointment with the client is required (1-2 hours) though at times a follow up phone call or further meeting may be necessary.

Vocational Rehabilitation Needs Assessment

Not sure what assistance your Client would benefit from?

Services can be targeted specifically towards your client’s needs and may incorporate:

Identification and clarity of their career options and decisions
Help to assess their current skills and experience and how these could be transferred to alternative roles
Goal setting and creating an action plan
Help with identifying any training or development needs they may have
Assistance with CV review or development, job application forms and writing cover letters
Giving them the techniques and information available on the wide range of Job Search Strategies that are best used to find the right position
Interview Skills Coaching
Working with them to overcome any barriers that may be preventing them from obtaining employment
Ongoing support with implementing their action plan

Following receipt of a referral and meeting with your client, an assessment of the needs along with a play outlining costings, timeframes, and outcomes to be achieved will be forwarded for approval prior to the service commencing. Focus will also be given to any barriers identified during the assessment with advice on how these will be best addressed and managed.
