For more than 40 years, the Vocational Research Institute (VRI),
a division of Philadelphia J.E.V.S., has been providing vocational
guidance and career education to help people of all races, creeds
and abilities establish themselves as productive and successful workers
in America's labor market. Currently, VRI instruments are used in
the full spectrum of human development settings including rehabilitation,
allied health and medical facilities, public schools, One-Stop centers,
correctional facilities, private industry, and agencies serving the
physically, mentally, socially or educationally challenged.
CareerScope - Unparalleled Self-administered Assessment for all
Work Force Development efforts:
• One-Stop Service Delivery • Career Counseling • School-To-Career
Transition • Welfare Reform • Corrections •
CareerScope is the self-service PC version of APTICOM. Evaluees
can be pre-registered by staff, or they can register themselves.
The program orients them to the test and the interface before they
do the interest and aptitude assessment. The results can be printed
instantly, and all information is saved for later analysis and reporting.
CareerScope only takes an hour, and a trained evaluator is not required.
In a computer lab you can assess as many evaluees as you have
work stations by buying multiple copies. Special licensing
arrangements are available for organizations needing to assess large
numbers of people in a short time.
