An Assessment of the Training Needs of State Vocational Rehabilitation Counselors

Robert J. Froehlich

The University of South Carolina

Donald C. Linkowski

The George Washington University

The primary purpose of this study was to identify the training needs of state vocational rehabilitation counselors. One hundred and sixty-seven vocational rehabilitation counselors completed the Rehabilitation Counseling Knowledge Inventory (Linkowski et al., 1993). The self-reported need for training across 10 components of rehabilitation counseling is described. A secondary purpose was to compare the self-perceived training needs of a sample of state vocational rehabilitation counselors with the self-perceived training needs of certified rehabilitation counselors (CRCs; Szymanski, Linkowski, Leahy, Diamond, & Thoreson, 1993a). The current sample reported significantly higher ratings of the need for training in foundations of rehabilitation, individual counseling and development, and assessment, whereas the CRC sample reported higher needs for training in the area of workers' compensation, employer services, and technology. A third purpose was to evaluate the relationship between counselor demographic variables and training needs. The highest earned degree was a significant predictor of perceived training need in the areas of group and family issues, foundations of rehabilitation, research, and individual counseling and development.
