design a program

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
• appropriate references included on a reference page

The formatting of this document should be logical and include a cover page and

reference page(s) adhering to APA 7th ed. style. Your assignment should present

information in a primarily narrative format. The reference list should include all

professional/scholarly references (e.g., professional journal article). Bullets or list should be

kept to a minimum.
