Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate human resource developmen t needs of certified rehabilitation counselors. A sample of 1,535 reha bilitation counselors who renewed their certification between March 19 91 and October 1992 reported development needs in Vocational Services; Medical and Psychosocial Aspects; Case Management and Services; and S ocial, Cultural, and Environmental issues. Significant differences in development needs were found across job levels, job settings, and job titles. Consideration of such counselor characteristics is recommended in human resource management.
