/in /by

For this assignment you will select a specific group from the following list:

  • Veterans
  • Minorities
  • Individuals with disabilities
  • College students
  • Individuals from welfare to work
  • Single parents
  • Displaced workers
  • Late-life career loss
  • Individuals with minimal work experience or large gaps in employment
  • Individual changing careers

Write a paper of 1,750 to 2,100 words that can be used as a resource when working with an individual from the selected group. Use scholarly resources to support your use of a specific career theory as well as interventions with this population. The paper should include the following:

  • An explanation of who the population is and why it is important for this group to receive career counseling (CACREP 2.F.4.e)
  • Statistics on the group (e.g., how large, how many have employment problems, how many utilize career counseling) (CACREP 2.F.4.c)
  • Discussion of career counseling theory to be used with the group (e.g., Minnesota theory of work adjustment). Include evidence supporting the use of this theory in the general population as well as within the group. Please note: If none is available, it is important to indicate that as well. (CACREP 2.F.4.a)
  • Basic plan for counseling utilizing chosen theory (e.g., interview, use of assessment tools, explanation of theory) (CACREP 2.F.4.a, CACREP 2.F.4.i)
  • Environmental/personal barriers that may prevent the client from finding work (e.g., disability, substance use history, felony, transportation, limited computer access) and specific intervention plans to address barriers (CACREP 2.F.4.b, CACREP 2.F.4.g, CACRE 2.F.4.j)
  • Relevant and local resources available to help the client obtain work (e.g., job center, training programs, support groups) and a description of activities and supplemental materials that can be used by the individual (CACREP 2.F.4.h)
  • Based on the information listed above, provide some recommendations with regard to your plan to include your opinion on whether this plan is tenable and if you think if it can work. (CACREP 2.F.4.f)
  • A discussion of how spirituality can be incorporated into career counseling. As examples, when counseling a Jewish client that observes the Sabbath, the counselor would want to talk to them about considering the work schedule when looking for employment or the counselor could ask questions about purpose and value as it relates to finding employment. Please refer to the Vocation and Lifelong Spiritual Formation: A Christian Integrative Perspective on Calling in Mid-Career article for your response.
  • A minimum of eight scholarly references.

    • Given this, what topics do you think you would be interested in researching in the future?

2. PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCIES AND REQUIREMENTS

Understanding the competencies and responsibilities involved in your future career in psychology is essential for growing as a practitioner-scholar in your field. It is also necessary to understand any requirements needed for your specialized practice and scholarship.

For this step in the assignment, describe the competencies, responsibilities, ethical considerations, and other requirements needed for achieving your vision and goals as a professional in psychology. These include:

  • Capella program and specialization requirements.
  • Credentialing, certification, licensure, and accreditation practices and standards.
  • Analyze the role of the practitioner-scholar model in guiding professional development.

    • Ethical codes, principles, laws, and policies applicable to your chosen career path.

3. ACTION PLAN

With all this knowledge of your vision and goals, and the competencies and requirements for the field in hand, you are ready to plot your course to making these aspirations a reality. The final step in this assignment is to create an action plan to achieve your goals. This means translating the requirements for your profession and the development areas you identified into specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timed (SMART) steps to achieve your vision.

Include these elements in your action plan:

  • Plan for completing your Capella program.
  • Possible opportunities for additional training or volunteer work to address gaps in your knowledge or skills.
  • Possible opportunities in your current position to develop additional skills.
  • Capella community groups and professional organizations that you could join for networking with others and completing additional informational interviews.
  • How you will stay current with the research, literature, and ethics in the field.

Additional Requirements

  • Written communication: Should be free of errors that detract from the overall message.

  • APA formatting: References and citations should be formatted according to current APA style and format. Include a title page, abstract, and references list.
  • Resources: Minimum of five resources with at least three of them from course readings. Your references may include both scholarly literature and practitioner sources. All references need to be cited in-text, according to current APA standards. Remember that citations are to support your thoughts, not take the place of them!
