I recently had an attorney ask me this question: "What formal training do vocational rehab counselors receive in conducting job analyses?"  Is this skill gained more from post-professional continuing education and experience?

As in most things, practice/experience  makes "perfect, yet there are graduate level courses in rehabilitation counseling that cover this topic as well as on the CRCexam...

Jeremy is right in that VCU, and most accredited rehab programs, will require 1-2 job analyses site visits and provide guidelines and extensive discussion for same.  there are CRCs (or former) who make an entire living doing these, and of course they tend to be more HR persons in safety, ergonomics, or DM programs.  they are also commonplace in almost any ADA litigation involvling issue of "qualified" or reasonable accommodation.

my favorite book on the subject was and still is Roger Thrush's "ADA and Essential Functions Job Identification"  It's a terrific programmed learning resource.

Hello All,

I just finished Career Counseling and Job Placement course at Virginia Commonwealth University.  Part of our course project involved an employment site interview and job analysis.
