On-the-job assessment is intended to provide the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) consumer with real work for no more than 10 business days. The purpose for the evaluation may be to try a job of interest, determine readiness for employment, gain employer feedback, or develop new skills. This assessment is individually designed to gain knowledge of work requirements in a real job. The on-the-job assessment must be in a community based competitive and integrated workplace at wages commensurate with others performing the same work.
