also known from articles I have translated for clients.

Arbejdsprøvning is a common expression in Danish to assess a person's aptitude to work following for instance severe bodily injury.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Yngve Roennike : aptitude equals suitability for a certain position, eg, "Take a free social work aptitude test to discover if you are right for a career in the social sector." What does _aptitude_ to work following an injuriy mean?

And testing the suitability for a certain position or work function is actually what arbejdsprøvning is all about. I know for sure.

work test

Sounds like a literal translation but I've come across this in insurance reports for a Swedish company and, apparently, this is the term commonly used in rehabilitation and assessment. It's a way of evaluating whether someone who has been on sick leave is fit enough to return to their former job or something else; if not, then they may be eligible for a disability pension etc.

trial work period /return to work trial

'return to work trial' gives a lot of hits.

The reference is a long discusion but may be useful.

work aptitude test(ing)

Back to the interesting discussion of using work aptitude test for arbejdsprøvning. As a matter of fact this type of test is used (in Denmark) to test people's ability to learn a new job/skill. It is particularly used following cerebral haemorrhage where people may have lost their former aptitude to do their job.
If you have a better expression than this one to cover what we actually test, please contribute.
