Employers' Preferences for Bachelors' and Masters' Level Rehabilitation Graduates
Chapin, Martha H.
College Student Journal, v38 n3 p362 Sep 2004
This study gathered information from employers about job titles, education, credentialing desired, salary expectations, and projected job growth for rehabilitation program graduates. A survey was mailed to 377 employers who were expected to hire rehabilitation professionals in a Southeastern state with undergraduate and graduate rehabilitation education programs. A list of jobs for persons interested in working in rehabilitation with a variety of educational levels was obtained. The mean salary for people with bachelors' degrees was $26,849 and for people with masters' degrees $33,618. Certification as a rehabilitation counselor, master addiction counselor, and vocational evaluator were desired as well as licensure as a professional counselor. Employers anticipated minimal growth slightly more than no change. This information may be useful for recruitment and placement of undergraduate and graduate rehabilitation education graduates.
