The purpose of this study was to establish the prototype work environment for rehabilitation counselors employed in the private-for-profit sector through the framework of Holland's career theory and the Position Classification Inventory (PCI). Data from a sample of 86 rehabilitation counselors employed in the private sector were analyzed following the administration of a web adaptation of the PCI. Results empirically establish the Holland code for the private sector work environment and examine its congruence with the prototypical rehabilitation counselor work environment. Implications for the education and training of qualified professionals are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
