Abstract

Work-related injuries can prevent workers from returning to their original jobs because of physical and psychological barriers. To reduce the social burden of these injuries and promote independence, re-employment of workers affected by work-related injuries is an important task. Vocational assessments help explore each worker's abilities and transferable skills, and thus help workers achieve self-understanding, develop suitable occupational goals, and adjust their work content. This paper describes the manner by which vocational assessment helped a worker who was injured due to a traffic accident of work by helping the worker understand her career potential, interests, transferable skills, and physiological condition, while providing specific employment advice. Ultimately, the injured worker found a new, suitable work.
