The purpose of this study was twofold: (1) to describe the functions and tasks of vocational evaluators in educational settings, and (2) to seek data pertaining to the certification, qualification, and status of vocational evaluators in this system. Letters were sent to vocational education supervisory staff in all fifty states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. As a result, seventeen states indicated vocational evaluation was conducted and twenty-one states indicated vocational evaluation was not. A total of 143 vocational evaluation programs were identified. Among the findings of this report are the following: (1) eighty-one percent of the personnel participating in the vocational evaluation survey were certified in the school system but only 4% under the job title of vocational evaluation; (2) vocational evaluators were found to be certified in a variety of disciplines; (3) most respondents indicated that they would be willing to work toward attaining certification if their states developed a certification process; (4) fifty-four percent indicated that they functioned at a comparable level with counselors in the school organization structure, but only one out of four was on a comparable pay scale; (5) twenty-one percent indicated that they did not have any specific training in vocational education prior to employment; and (6) fifty-nine percent indicated that they had had some form of training, while 41% indicated that they had had none.
