Dimensions of Vocational Wellness Vocational Wellness incorporates our core values with interests, hobbies, employment and volunteer work. For example: Someone may volunteer, but may not seek the ultimate benefit from it. Many associate vocational wellness as a means of making money, but it actually incorporates skills and knowledge. Someone may have many gifts and talents, but may not use them to benefit the community.

Vocational Involves integrating skills, activities, and promoting satisfaction in one’s life. It is usually determined early on in an experience as an individual continues to create goals, attitudes, and satisfaction in life. It extends to multiple areas within one’s life beyond volunteering.
