Handi-Crafters - Vocational Evaluation

The initial step for most individuals entering our programs is a vocational evaluation to determine your needs and our ability to meet them.

We will use standardized tests, work samples and production tasks in the workshop or participation on a community work crew. When the evaluation has been completed, we will meet with you and your team members to discuss the results. Our Vocational Evaluator will forward a written report to your referral source and anyone else authorized to receive a copy.
