I'm considering moving to Tallahassee after high school and am interested in vocational rehabilitation. Does anyone know about job opportunities in this field there, and what the prospects are like?
Tallahassee, being the state capital of Florida, has several institutions and agencies related to vocational rehabilitation, leading to promising career prospects in this field.
One significant employer in vocational rehabilitation is the Department of Education's Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, which is headquartered in Tallahassee. They are often hiring for a variety of roles related to rehabilitation counseling, administration, or case management.
There's also Opportunity Services Florida, a local non-profit organization that provides vocational services to individuals with disabilities. They operate in Leon County, where Tallahassee is located, and may have positions open on a regular basis.
Keep in mind, that the specifics will depend on your qualifications and the particular area of vocational rehabilitation you're interested in (i.e., job coaching, case management, counseling, etc.).
Overall, if you're considering a career in vocational rehabilitation, Tallahassee could be a promising place to consider due to a robust ecosystem around vocational services. But as with any career choice, I would encourage you to do further research, network with professionals already in the field in Tallahassee, and consider reaching out to the above-mentioned organizations to get a sense of current and future opportunities.
