The gap (structural hole) between the manner in which rehabilitation agencies and business are structured, organized and managed has grown exponentially over the past 10-20 years. Three key changes have radically transformed American business: the globalization of financial capital and competition, the information technology revolution, and the pressure on the supervisor-worker relationship to increase productivity and reduce costs. In these demanding times it is clear that vocational rehabilitation professionals need to find ways to enhance the labor market social capital of consumers and bridge the increasingly deep structural hole between them and employers. To do so, rehabilitation professionals must pay more attention to the skills needed to be labor market intermediaries. In this article, the authors outline three issues that they think rehabilitation educators should address when training the next generation of rehabilitation professionals, and they then offer a fourth suggestion, which is a public policy proposal that they encourage educators to support.
