Definition of a Transferable Skills Analysis, TSA

1. A Transferable Skills Analysis (TSA) for Return to Work & Career Counselling/Planning: TSAs are defined as a systematic process of identifying an individual’s existing work abilities, skills, traits, & aptitudes through a detailed analysis of their demonstrated vocational history, hobbies, recreational & volunteer activities & education/training. During a TSA, the CVRP may conduct a thorough interview, capturing information on individual’s psychosocial & functional status, referencing current health symptoms & limitations (medical, physical, psychological, cognitive) that may impact the vocational profile & capacities to ascertain a viable return to work plan.

2. A Transferable Skills Analysis (TSA) in support of forensic analysis, dispute resolution, independent 3rd party assessments for medical legal purposes requires the expertise & experience of a CCVE/ICVE. Alternatively, under the direct supervision of a CCVE/ICVE (provided that such individual, the evaluation process & all related documentation, are adequately supervised by the CCVE/ICVE & is under the professional responsibility of the CCVE/ICVE), a CVRP may participate in portions, or components of a TSA designed for forensic analysis, dispute resolution, independent 3rd party assessment, or medical legal purposes. Supervision shall be documented through notation in the client’s records &/or signing/co-authoring of the client’s report by the CCVE/ICVE.

Forensic TSAs are considered more complex than TSAs designed for return to work or career counselling or planning, typically used to assist in determining future employability, earning capacity & has a greater impact on the clients’ vocational & financial wellbeing. Forensic TSAs are often used in the event that an individual may not be able to perform the essential duties of their past position or their position no longer exists.

A fully redacted transferable skills analysis report, for peer review, must be no older than 6 months & demonstrate the following:

Consent: Ensure informed consent is outlined, detailing activities & whether consent was written, verbal, or both. If the assessment is completed via file review only, then it needs to be stated as to why no consent was obtained. Consent must be: Informed, Voluntary, Written &/or Verbal, Expressed: consent that has been clearly & unmistakably given. For more information on Consent click here for the CVRP Standards of Practice.
Purpose or Scope of Referral: Reports must clearly state as to what you were asked to do as it will define the report (determine if suitable alternate direct entry jobs exists &/or jobs that require short term/OTJ training).
Role of Evaluator: Explain role & qualifications pertaining to what you have been asked to do as per scope of practice as per the College.
Work History duration/duties: Clearly outline client’s work/volunteer history & ensure job duties support the proper selection of a NOC code.
