Much of the success of fitness professionals in the 21st century will rely on a better understanding of the health needs of target populations and conscientious planning and implementation of appropriate wellness programs. Preparing for the new millennium may entail enhancing your skills and knowledge through training programs, specialty courses or higher education. This article highlights present avenues and career opportunities for health and fitness professionals (HFP). In addition, for each tract a career resource guide is presented which provides professional opportunities, education, current events, training courses, articles, and a plethora of useful information for HFP. All resources linked are listed at the end of the article and can be accessed directly if you CLICK HERE.
Expanding Role of Health Fitness Professionals
The role of HFP is interlaced with assessing, interpreting, prescribing and designing health and physical activity programs for people in numerous settings. Opportunities exist in colleges, universities, community health agencies, club fitness (profit and non-profit), worksites (business and industry), medical settings (hospitals, clinics, and health maintenance organizations), hotels, country clubs, government institutions, and recreational programs. Within the last decade, the HFP has become more involved with enhancing the quality of life for deconditioned, disabled, and older populations.

Evolving Professional Tracts
Four evolving career tracks for HFP are 1) Health and Fitness, 2) Alternative Wellness, 3) Health Rehabilitation, and 4) Specialty Areas. Career paths in each of these areas follow (See Side Bar 1 for Comparative Salaries).
Health and Fitness
The dynamic growth and enthusiastic interest in fitness the last few decades has sparked an expansive evolution of the health and fitness industry. Impacting this increased membership is the dramatic emergence of the 50 yr and older population into commercial fitness centers (Grantham, Patton, York, & Winick, 1998). An increased visibility and knowledge about health and fitness through the media has led to a much more informed consumer. The employment of qualified professionals has significantly improved the credibility of health and fitness delivery systems. The major tracts in this area are the fitness industry, corporate wellness, wellness and personal training.

Fitness Industry (Note: includes resources for careers, internships and resume writing)
Career opportunities in the fitness industry include fitness club owner/manager, fitness director, aerobics director, special programs director, aquatics directors, teachers, exercise physiologists and personal trainers. Additionally, career opportunities in residential spas (defined as facilities that include a fitness and nutrition component) include fitness director, health and fitness instructors, and personal trainers. An emerging field is medical health and fitness programs which serve as an advocate for hospital- and physician-based fitness centers.
For a useful health and fitness resource, each year Club Industry, The Business Magazine for Health and Fitness Facility Management, publishes a magazine edition listing the names and contact numbers of the top 100 fitness clubs and chains in North American. For resources contact:

Jobs Employment, Career Job, Employment Job

by Rochelle Habeck,John Kregel,Colleen Head and Satoko Yasuda

Public policies to stimulate demandside factors that affect the employment status of people with disabilities need to consider workplace efforts that support the continued employment job of employees who develop work limitations from any cause (back door factors), as well as the hiring behaviors of employers (front door factors). Workplace participation rates are influenced by employment exits as well as placements.

Little focus has been given to preventing separation from jobs employment, despite evidence of the progression to public disability benefits. Factors that place employees who develop impairments or work limitations at risk for early exit from employment job are discussed. Preliminary findings from a qualitative study of successful firms are identified and illustrated with practice examples. Implications of these effective interventions are raised, including the provision of workplace based services, the need for accommodations overtime, and the role of employer incentives for retention.

Natural supports as originally introduced includes supports to be provided by individuals, such as co-workers and employers, who are not hired by a human services organization. In a customer-
driven approach, these supports include a full range of supports that can be found both at the
employee’s place of business and in the community. They are designed to assist an individual with
jobs employment and community participation. An employment specialist must be prepared and have the
necessary knowledge to develop community and business supports, facilitate informed choice, assist
in assessing preferred choice, provide a variety of individualized supports, coordinate and monitor
all types of assistance and respond to changes over time. The direct service providers of supported
employment should be spending less time actually engaged in delivering a support and more time
engaged in assessing a situation with a customer, sharing information about possible support options,
assisting the customer in accessing the support option, and evaluating the effectiveness of the
strategy.
         Continuous Quality Improvement. The concept of continuous quality improvement is
known by many different terms and variations to include: Total Quality Control, Total Quality
Improvement, Total Quality, and Managing for Quality. There are striking similarities between these
terms that generally refer to an approach that can be used by a service delivery provider to
constantly reevaluate quality. Continuous quality improvement calls for service providers to focus
their time and energy on improving the process, the product, and the service. The key to continuous
improvement is driven and defined by the customer.
         In a customer-driven approach to sup-ported employment job services, providers must listen to
the wishes and desires of persons with significant disabilities to determine the agency’s mission, goals
and objectives. People with disabilities who are participating in sup-ported employment or who are
actively seeking services should be assisting in developing and evaluating services. In addition,
employment specialists should play an active role in assisting the agency with continuous quality
improvement. Having job coaches, job developers, and customers working together will give the
agency the necessary data to drive the quality improvement.

Relationship building at the business site will be vital to building full community inclusion and
achieving employment satisfaction. For example, working age adults spend, on average, 40 hours
a week at their place of employment. The office or business setting is where many social
relationships are formed. This same principle holds true for people with disabilities. However,
because some people are still uncertain of how to approach someone with a disability, the
employment specialist can assist by breaking down these artificial barriers from the first day of work.
 Assisting individuals with disabilities to obtain full inclusion in the work setting will facilitate a new
vision of community where all members are valued.
        Long Term Supports. Supported employment provides for the necessary supports to assist
an individual with long term employment job retention. By federal definition, supported employmentincludes at least two monthly contacts at the job site unless the customer requests otherwise. The
long term support component is an extremely unique feature among rehabilitation services. Unlike
other services, the entire notion of service termination is never addressed. The intention behind this
feature of supported jobs employment is the realization that individuals, as well as businesses, are fluid.
Individuals do not simply get a job in a local business and then stay there for the rest of their lives.
While the likelihood of remaining in the same occupation has remained constant, staying with the
same employer or even in the same industry has declined significantly over the last ten years (National
Alliance of Business, 1996).

The customer-driven approach to supported employment places an increased emphasis on
the initial time that a direct service provider spends with the customer to assist with the identification
of career goals. High quality service providers must be skilled in working closely with their
customers to develop strategies for marketing their service, establishing a rapport with the business
community, interviewing employers, and conducting in-depth job analysis of specific employment
settings. Completing this process will yield an extensive amount of information for the customer
to determine if the wages, benefits, conditions, supports, and corporate culture are sufficient for long
term career development.
         Full Community Inclusion. The concept of full community inclusion calls for a vision
of society in which all persons are viewed in terms of their abilities and are welcomed into the
mainstream of community life. The whole notion of community inclusion stresses relationships both
formal and informal, as well as, business and social. Yet, a segment of the general public has the
impression that people with disabilities are better served when they are with other people with similar
disabilities. This faulty notion persists, in part, due to the creation of “special” services for people
with disabilities and by not adequately representing or connecting people with disabilities to the
formal and informal social structures.
         In a customer-driven approach, the customers of supported employment services work with
service providers in the marketing of the employment service. Developing a marketing approach and
materials with the customers of the service will help to ensure that people with disabilities are
represented in a positive manner to the business community. In addition, the employment specialist
needs to actively assist customers in developing networks that are based on his or her desires, wants
and, needs. Too often, employment specialists have personally provided critical employment job
supports rather than taking additional time to find a family, friend, or community source for the same
support.
