A Situational Assessment is an evaluation to assess the client's work and interpersonal skills. It gathers vocational information in a work setting to identify a persons skills, abilities, and training needs. Situational Assessments are performed at a business usually for 2 to 4 weeks in duration to provide a temporary paid work experience for the client. The client performs all or parts of a job. The results are used to assist the client with making decision about their vocational goals.

A plan is written which consists of standard and specific questions regarding performance that the funding source counselor wants assessed. The situational assessments questions and plan are written prior to the assessment beginning. The job coach is given the S/A questions and makes progress notes on the areas being assessed, then makes a weekly summarization on the situational assessment report form.

At the end of the assessment, the Employment Specialist will write the information gathered into a summary report for the referral counselor.
