Career Intervention Program Design

For this assignment, you will design a program of career intervention(s) for a target
population. When
selecting your population, consider the career development theories
discussed in our course. Design your intervention based on the theory you feel would
best meet the needs of your population chosen. Interventions should include at least
one quantitative (i.e., used to gather numerical data) and one qualitative (i.e., used to
gather responses to open-ended questions) career assessment with a rationale for why
these particular assessments were chosen. (Examples of qualitative assessments can
include games, card sorts, genograms, etc.)
Your design will include the following:
• selection and description of a target population (e.g., high school students)
• description of the needs or presenting concern of your target population (e.g.,
enhanced self-awareness, post-graduation planning) based on research and
guiding theory
• objectives of program (e.g., engage in career exploration)
• resources needed for your program (e.g., assessments, pens, rooms, etc.)
• length of program plan with rationale and meeting topics
• description of a quantitative and qualitative assessment for use with population
(e.g., Career Decision Scale [CDS])
• rationale for selection of specific assessments (e.g., age appropriate, etc.)
• method of communicating or interpreting results (e.g., special report, one-on-one
meetings
• methods and/or model of evaluation (e.g., satisfaction survey, objectives-based
model)
• potential issues, strengths, or obstacles to your design
