Comprehensive Career Assessment

Assignment Instructions

Create an assessment battery for a hypothetical client seeking career counseling and guidance. Include the types of assessments you would use and the rationale for your choice of each assessment. You must use at least 3 quantitative assessments and 2 qualitative assessments (i.e., clinical interview, card sort, etc.). Each assessment you select should be thoroughly discussed in terms of the appropriateness of use with your client and should include statistical data to support your decision, including the population on which the assessment was normed, the validity and reliability of the assessment, and any limitations the assessment would have if used with diverse and special populations. Include information on how to use electronic resources, including the O*NET and the Dictionary of Occupational Titles (DOT) to describe the mental, physical, and vocational preparation for work. Describe jobs that would meet the client's abilities, talents, skills, and provide a discussion regarding cultural considerations and special needs of the client, which should include a personal development plan.

The body of the paper should be a minimum of ten pages (NOT including title or reference pages) and should include additional resources and references other than the textbook. You may use yourself as the hypothetical client. You do NOT need to include an abstract. The paper must be submitted in Microsoft Word; Times New Roman font; 12 pt. font size; margins 1” on all sides; double-spaced. The assignment should be written on a graduate level, and references used should be cited within the discussion and documented in a reference list using APA styling.
