Yes, we have work transition services. Their primary role is reintegration into the accident employer, where the worker was injured, but that doesn't always occur for a variety of reasons. After we've exhausted work with the accident employer, then we go to the worker's abilities outside the workplace they were working in. Again, it's a collaborative process in terms of planning. We do a detailed assessment of what their vocational characteristics are, what their skills and abilities are from the past. We try to use whatever skills they might have had in the past to formulate a plan with them.
We make that collaborative because of the success factor. If the worker feels engaged and they feel that yes, that's a plan, that they're interested in computers, for example, then we will try, within the scope of our entitlements, to get them into the field they want to go into. Now, if I want to become a helicopter pilot, that might not be appropriate. But we try to tailor it based on their earnings, because our plan is to mitigate their wage loss. So if you are a low-wage earner, and you no longer work with your employer, the plan might not be as fulsome. But if you are a high-wage earner and you can't go back to work with your employer, and you have limited skills, we'd probably spend more time trying to maximize your earnings potential outside of the accident employer.
But it's a plan that's developed with the worker, not the employer, in this case, because they're out of the picture, so to speak, and the medical community is involved in terms of the worker's abilities and strengths and weaknesses. We'll transition them through that plan. It could be going to school; it could be short, on-the-job training or whatever; but we involve them in that transition.
