Text on Vocational Evaluation

One of the earliest textbooks on vocational evaluation, written by Walter Pruitt in the early 1980s, was entitled Vocational Evaluation.  The 2nd Edition, published in 1986, has been out of print for many years.  Thanks to the efforts of Michelle Hamilton from the University of Wisconsin-Stout, and permission from Eric Pruitt, this important resource was retyped into an electronic format (PDF) and is again available. 

The electronic version can be downloaded for no charge as a service to VE practitioners and other interested persons.  Our appreciation goes out to Michelle and Eric for making this possible.  Walt was an early pioneer in the field of vocational evaluation and this is a fitting tribute in his memory.
