Abstract

Rehabilitation Counsellors utilise comprehensive skills that have strong parallels with the Human Resources environment. As facilitators of development, improvement and goal achievement, Rehabilitation Counsellors are best equipped to deal with the ever changing face of people and organisations. There are key competencies in both fields that allow for the link between the two to be established, therefore creating an alternative career option for Rehabilitation Counsellors. The Human Resources field provides opportunities for Rehabilitation Counsellors to access large organisations with potential for higher remuneration and career development. Furthermore, the Human Resources field allows rehabilitation counsellors the platform to showcase their range of skills in order to achieve an organisations goals and objectives.
