Career Assessment Systems, Inc. (CAS) is a highly respected statewide Community Rehabilitation Program. In Fiscal Year 2008, we served over 761 consumers in 47 counties in Ohio. As of July 1, 2009 (FY- 2009) CAS has already served over 425 consumers. Part of the ongoing effort to address the needs and concerns of our consumers, and agency counselors, CAS conducts a semi-annual study of our effectiveness, efficiency and consumer and stakeholder satisfaction of the vocational services we provide. Throughout the year, consumers and agency counselors are surveyed through exit interviews, phone interviews and mail surveys.

The true effectiveness of Career Assessment Systems vocational services and consumer satisfaction levels can be measured based by the number of consumers who completed and were satisfied with their vocational services experience.

FY 2009 through July 2009

• 93% of the consumers felt “comfortable with the entire vocational service experience.” 2008 – 87%
• 85% of consumers felt that “recommendations helped them to better make vocational plans.” 2008 – 86%. This is exceptional given the impact consultations suggesting alternative vocational goals have versus recommendation expectation by the consumer.
• Almost 80% of our consumers maintain a job through 90 days using CAS placement and employment follow-up services. 2008-78%
• 100% of the surveyed counselors felt that questions and concerns regarding consumers’ Individual Plan for Employment were addressed. 2008-100%
