College and Community Outreach • Identify your local universities and establish contacts
with student leaders, graduates, faculty advisors• Consider accepting an a intern student
Interns usually work for free to gain their hours for class
Internships can serve as a precursory ‘on the job training opportunity’ often interns are hired after they graduate

Key Concepts
• Underrepresented groups are:
• Classifications protected under federal and state equal employment opportunity laws by race, color, sex, nationality, religion, age, veteran status, and disability.
• Diversity refers to: the broader value of appreciating contributions of all
employees and maximizes the potential of all workforce with demographic groups that are reflected
in the general population

Key Concepts (part 2)
• Equal employment opportunity means: equality in the hiring process, in training, promotion
and compensation. the right to be evaluated as an individual on his or her
qualifications without discrimination.
• Affirmative Action: is governed by a number of overlapping laws gives special rights of hiring and/or advancement to
ethnic/racial minorities to make up for past discrimination against that minority.

Key Concepts (part 3)
Affirmative Action (con’t)
• Controversial aspects• Outdated
• Creates reverse discrimination against Caucasians
• Targeted recruitment and goals are appropriate
• Quotas are not appropriate
• Affirmative action applies to all job categories and levels
• Organizations must actively seek to remove any barriers that artificially limit the professional and personal development of its employees.

Questions to Consider: Job Advertisements
Q: Can job advertisements encourage specific groups to apply?
A: Yes. Advertisements may include a statement that all
qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
TACE Center: Region IV, a project of the Burton Blatt Institute.Funded by RSA Grant # H264A080021. © 2011 All Rights Reserved
11
Questions to Consider: Job Advertisements (part 2)

and individuals with disabilities, are encouraged to apply.”
• Job advertisements are considered a legal document
TACE Center: Region IV, a project of the Burton Blatt Institute.Funded by RSA Grant # H264A080021. © 2011 All Rights Reserved
12
Questions to Consider: Job Advertisements (part 3)
• Create a company policy and standardize how all ads will be written
• SAMPLE:REHABILITATION COUNSELING, (PRF #12023) XYZ agency has a long-standing commitment to diversity and is actively seeking to nurture and enrich its underrepresented communities. Women, minorities and individuals with disabilities are encouraged to apply. In accordance with XXXX regulations, successful applicants must be legally able to accept work in the United States. Requests for reasonable accommodation of a disability during the application and/or interview process should be made to Human Resources, 555-555-9999 (V), 800-555-9990 or 611 (MRS/TTY).

13
Questions to Consider: Hiring
• Does hiring only members of specific underrepresented groups satisfy affirmative action responsibilities? NO Recruit broadly: veterans, people with disabilities,
women, LGBT and members of all ethnic minority groups.
Avoid tokenism: hiring underrepresented groups into positions which do not offer potential for advancement or are lower level but high visibility

14
What not to ask … Religion
• Religion is a subject that should be treaded upon lightly at the office, and even more so in interviews.
• What you can't ask: What religion do you practice?
Refrain from asking about candidate’s beliefs. Instead ask they’re able to work.
• Instead ask: What days are you available to work?

15
What not to ask … Affiliation
• What you can't ask: Do you belong to a fraternity, sorority or social organization?
• Candidates are not required to share such information with potential employers.
Little to no relation to a candidate's ability to do a job.
• What to ask instead: Are you a member of a professional or trade group that is relevant to our industry?

16
What not to ask … Nationality
• Verifying legal status and citizenship is important…BUT

Make sure your question regarding citizenship is related specifically to work.
• Instead ask: Are you authorized to work in the U.S.?

17
What not to ask … Language
• What you can't ask: What is your native tongue?
Question may be perceived as offensive
As an employer, it's not your concern how the applicant attained fluency in a language — just that they are fluent.
• What to ask instead: What languages do you read, speak or write fluently?

What not to ask … Residence

19
What not to ask … Age
• Be careful about discrimination towards applicants nearing retirement.
• What you can't ask: How old are you?

20
What not to ask … Retirement
• What you can't ask: How much longer do you plan to work before you retire? “Landmine” for discrimination troubles. It may not be ideal to hire an older worker who might
retire in a few years, you can't dismiss an applicant for this reason.
• What to ask instead: What are your long-term career goals?

VR Need
• In many states, there has been an increasing number of persons with disabilities accessing services provided by state VR agencies. The need for VR counselors is becoming increasingly
necessary. The ability to adequately serve consumers of VR
services may become more difficult.• Vacant positions, need for qualified VR counselors,
turnover, counselor motivation, etc.
TACE Center: Region IV, a project of the Burton Blatt Institute.Funded by RSA Grant # H264A080021. © 2011 All Rights Reserved
33
Issues
• Common issues related to retention and turnover exist within our state VR agencies Burnout, Pay, Career Change, Benefits, Retirement,
Satisfaction/Motivation, etc.
• State VR agencies must consider numerous areas when developing and implementing retention plans. Meet the needs of the diverse population of
rehabilitation professionals employed within the state VR system…• Racial/Ethnic, Age, Years of Experience,
Background/Specialty Area, Geographic Location
TACE Center: Region IV, a project of the Burton Blatt Institute.Funded by RSA Grant # H264A080021. © 2011 All Rights Reserved
34
Valuing the Profession
• Empirical research and changes within society has shaped the perception of the discipline by “solidifying the argument that rehabilitation counseling has evolved from a skilled occupation into a true profession” (Leierer, Strohmer, Blackwell, Thompson, & Donnay, 2008, p.68)
Awareness and Understanding of the Profession
Prestige and Social Value of the Profession
Credentialing
“Loving what we do…”

• On-going education and training Specific organizational issues Culturally competent staff/colleagues *
• Empowerment of VR professionals Needs and Wants Having a Voice
TACE Center: Region IV, a project of the Burton Blatt Institute.Funded by RSA Grant # H264A080021. © 2011 All Rights Reserved
37
Cultural Competence• Awareness
Self-awareness is the key to competence can be difficult (racism, sexism, and classism)
• Knowledge Understanding several different groups
Critical for helping professionals to understand and share the worldview of their colleagues Similar to the process of cultural role taking
• Skills Behaviors and interactions should be congruent with the
worldview and values of others
TACE Center: Region IV, a project of the Burton Blatt Institute.Funded by RSA Grant # H264A080021. © 2011 All Rights Reserved
38
Supervision and Mentoring
• Participation in mentoring is an unique experience• “nurturing process in which a more skilled or more
experienced person, serving as a role model, teaches, sponsors, encourages, counsels, and befriends a less skilled or less experienced person for the purpose of promoting the latter’s professional and/or personal development” (Anderson and Shannon, 1988, p.40) Peer Mentoring Formal vs Informal
• Addresses Positive Employee Outcomes related to retention Objective and Subjective Outcomes

39
Supervision and Mentoring (cont.)
• Clinical supervision assists in developing more competent VR counselors… Enhances critical thinking skills, psychosocial
involvement, case conceptualization (Herbert, 2004) May impact work dissatisfaction and counselor stress
and burnout• Mentoring and supervisory relationships are far from
being exclusive of one another and, in many aspects, can be complementary (Johnson, 2007). Differences can be unclear and confusing to state VR
counselors and organizations/agencies. Education and training in this area can be beneficial.
