CAREER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM PLAN

Your site supervisor at RCCC wants your help to secure agency funding for a career development program to serve your clients and community. You will design a career development program plan to be reviewed by the administration at the RCCC for funding consideration.

In this assignment, you will identify a diverse population for whom you need to design a career development program.

The following are examples of populations that may be used:

  • Specific racial minorities or ethnic groups.
  • Individuals from specific religious affiliations.
  • Different generations in the workforce.
  • Veterans or military families.
  • People with a particular disability or mental disorder.
  • LGBTQI+ individuals.
  • People who were previously incarcerated.
  • At-risk youth.
  • International refugees/asylees.
  • People with limited English proficiency.

Be creative and explore a population about which you know little and/or want to learn more. Your population can be situated in a hypothetical agency, school, or counseling center.

Using the Career Development Program Plan Template [DOCX], address the following:

  • Define the diverse population, its characteristics, and its needs related to career development (one page).

  • Career Development Program Implementation (1–2 pages).
  • Detail the timeline for your program, session topics, and specific strategies/activities.

  • Career Development Program Evaluation (0.5 page).
  • How will you measure the effectiveness of your career development program?
    • Process-oriented data: Include an objective assessment that clients would take to measure progress towards your identified objectives. Utilize information from Week 4 on Assessment. (School counseling learners – ASCA refers to this as perception data.)
    • Outcome data: Include how you will measure results on a larger, long-term scale.
