Abstract: VA Form 28-10290 will be used to collect information on individualized labor market information to include specific occupational trends, required qualifications, skillsets, salaries, physical and educational requirements for the Veteran’s identified occupational career path. The information collected will be used to conduct an evaluation to assist the Veteran in selecting a suitable vocational goal that is consistent with his or her abilities, aptitudes, interests and does not aggravate his or her disability(ies). Vocational planning is a critical element in selecting a suitable vocational goal for the purpose of the development of a rehabilitation plan for a Veteran within the Veteran Readiness and Employment (VR&E) program. The foundation of a successful rehabilitation program is a well-developed plan of action. Comprehensive labor market information is the first step in developing a successful rehabilitation plan for each Veteran. The VR&E staff subsequently, will use the information on this form to ensure a suitable vocational goal is identified as part of the Veteran’s rehabilitation plan to assist him or her in obtaining and maintaining suitable employment. This form will be obtained through electronic methods to include VA.gov or by the referring Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor. Upon compilation of the data, the form will be electronically submitted to the appropriate VR&E staff.
