Abstract: Transferable skills analysis (TSA) has been a fundamental tool for
analyzing employability in vocational rehabilitation. Computerized software has
reduced the cost and time necessary to perform a TSA, proliferating its use.
The use of TSA software has also expanded in recent years beyond the forensic
arena to other areas of rehabilitation including vocational evaluation, career
exploration, and case management. However, among the various software packages,
there is a lack of consistency in how a TSA is performed, leading to varying
results between programs. This paper highlights this inconsistency, its
potential clinical impact on service provision, and the need for further
research into the definition and application of TSA in rehabilitation.
