Placement Services

The purpose of this research was to identify disparities in proportions of cases “successfully closed” (status 26 only) into competitive jobs based on ethnicity (Latino vs. non-Latino). Case records (n=1 ,224) from the RSA-911 database, fiscal year 1997, were obtained and evaluated for consumers who were deaf with less than 12 years of education. A logistic regression analysis and chi-square tests were utilized to investigate potential relationships. Results indicated that significantly more non-Latino consumers who were deaf achieved competitive jobs compared to Latino consumers who were deaf. Findings also indicated that a significantly greater proportion of those consumers who were deaf provided with counseling and job placement services achieved competitive jobs compared to consumers who did not receive these services. Finally, results suggested that a significantly lower proportion of those vocational rehabilitation services found to be significantly associated with competitive jobs (i.e., job placement) were provided to Latino consumers who were deaf. Results are presented for competitive jobs and the implications of findings for service and research are discussed.

Research into the roles and functions of rehabilitation, counselors has revealed job placement services to be among the most important duties reported. Yet, counselors have indicated they have insufficient time to perform placement services because of increased case load size. Thus, clients who are approaching job readiness generally have been referred to private not-for-profit rehabilitation facilities for placement services. More recently, private for-profit rehabilitation practitioners have discovered that placement efforts are enhanced by having smaller case loads which allows for attention to be focused toward job placement in a timely manner. However, both private not-for-profit rehabilitation facilities and for-profit practitioners generally charge a fee for client placement services. The dilemma confronting rehabilitation professionals and facilities who collect fees for placement is that they may be in violation of state statutes requiring such activities to be licensed as employment agencies, agents, or both. State statutes regulating employment agency functions are examined relative to fee-generating placement activities performed by rehabilitation personnel.

The Impact

As the projected growth of Latinos in the United States is substantially high and unemployment rates significantly low, the need exists for rehabilitation professionals to be aware of factors affecting successful employment outcomes. Subsequently, self-concept has been considered a contributing factor affecting employment outcomes, although varying results exist. In view of job placement services often provided through vocational rehabilitation (VR) agencies and/or community rehabilitation programs (CRP), this study investigated the relationship of various self-concept variables and academic/work concept as measured by the Tennessee Self Concept Scale 2 (TSCS2) with job placement practice. Results indicated significant relationships among Identity and Satisfaction, and Academic/Work self-concept. In addition, Family, Physical, and Identity self-concepts were positively correlated with number of days in job placement services prior to employment. Implications for rehabilitation professionals, and future research are discussed.

Disadvantaged People

In October 2008 in the UK Incapacity Benefit (IB) (the main income replacement benefit for sick and disabled claimants) was replaced by the Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) for new claimants. Drawing upon recent work on the retrenchment of welfare benefits and services this paper examines the context for the changes, the marketisation of the job placement services for ESA claimants and the extension of conditionality to sick and disabled benefit claimants. The paper argues that the introduction of ESA is a good example of the retrenchment of benefits for the majority of sick and disabled people. The paper concludes that ESA can be interpreted as creating a group of disadvantaged people through which the private sector can profit.
