OCCUPATIONAL ASSESSMENT

The RVAP is a multi-phased approach to document and evaluate the impacts of steelwork and the other telecommuting applications from both a transportation and community service perspective. The initial step is convening the RVAP Conference with as many of the regional stakeholders as possible. The goal is to review the Occupational Assessment tools and verify that all relevant information is being collected and analyzed. It also tasks these stakeholders with recruiting about 45 targeted employers to complete the assessment.
