Vocational Assessments
Transferrable Skills Analysis
We deliver comprehensive Transferable Skills Analyses (TSA) to identify realistic and appropriate occupational options for your clients. Each evaluation is grounded in a detailed review of work history, education, and experience, integrated with a clear understanding of functional limitations, current wage benchmarks, and geographic context. To support a pathway toward optimal earning capacity, we also highlight relevant upskilling opportunities and conduct targeted labour market research to identify currently advertised roles. The result is a clear, defensible, and actionable report outlining viable transferable occupations.
Vocational Evaluations
When a Transferable Skills Analysis (TSA) does not yield viable occupational options—whether due to limited work history, high pre-disability earnings, or the need for retraining—a Vocational Evaluation provides a more robust and objective alternative. This assessment relies on standardized psychometric testing to generate validated insights into an individual’s aptitudes, interests, and cognitive strengths. These findings, integrated with an analysis of functional limitations, regional labour market dynamics, and pre-disability earning capacity, form the basis of a defensible evaluation of vocational potential. The process supports informed decision-making in disability claims, litigation, and rehabilitation planning by identifying realistic and sustainable career pathways.
Labour Market Surveys
Our Labour Market Surveys offer a detailed analysis of specific occupations, providing a clear and accurate snapshot of local employment conditions. We compile current data from multiple sources, including wage benchmarks, occupational outlooks, and active job postings. This process includes reviewing provincially published wage surveys and may involve direct outreach to employers to verify compensation and hiring potential. The final report delivers an objective, well-documented overview of physical job demands and occupational availability—serving as a defensible foundation for vocational planning and decision-making.
Report Critique
A specialized evaluation conducted by certified vocational experts to assess the integrity and validity of third-party reports—particularly those influencing litigation outcomes or insurance benefit decisions. Our critiques offer an objective analysis of:
Methodological rigour and alignment with professional standards
The relevance and suitability of vocational options presented
The evidentiary foundation for conclusions regarding employability or benefit denial
These assessments are designed to uncover gaps, biases, or unsupported assumptions in opposing reports, providing clear and defensible insight for legal professionals, insurers, and claimants. Whether used in rebuttal, appeal, or litigation, our critiques reflect the highest standards of vocational evaluation and forensic reporting.
Employability Assessments
This assessment offers a structured, evidence-based analysis of an individual’s capacity for sustained gainful employment within the competitive Canadian labour market. Designed for individuals pursuing or appealing Section B accident benefits, Long-Term Disability (LTD), or Canada Pension Plan (CPP) Disability Benefits, it includes a comprehensive client interview, Transferable Skills Analysis (TSA), and objective evaluation of vocational potential.
Conducted by certified vocational experts, the assessment integrates clinical findings with national occupational data and regional labour market conditions. It provides defensible insight into employability, retraining opportunities, and realistic occupational outcomes—supporting benefit entitlement decisions and meeting the evidentiary standards of insurers, legal professionals, and government programs across Canada.
Employability and Earning Capacity Assessments
Assesses an individual’s ability to maintain gainful employment following injury or illness, with a focus on estimating potential income loss. The evaluation includes projected earnings loss calculations and identifies retraining opportunities that may mitigate vocational impact.
