Administering and Interpreting Career Assessments
Start Date | March 20, 2024 |
---|
This course provides an overview of several assessment tools commonly used to facilitate career decision-making (i.e., tools that assess skills interests, values, and personal style), including assessment selection, administration, interpretation, and integration of results. In addition, this course will consider the assessment process. Participants in the course are expected to purchase a package of assessment tools for use during the course. The focus of this course is on “A” level assessment tools (i.e., tools that do not require graduate level training in statistics and psychometrics). Commonly used “B” level assessment tools (i.e., those that require specialized training or a graduate degree in psychology) will also be introduced. However, it is important to note that completion of this course will not qualify participants to administer/interpret “B” level assessment tools.
“This provides a great practical perspective of career assessments and the considerations that should be made when using them. There’s a lot to think about and this did a really good job of highlighting that.” – Anonymous, CMPP Student
