What you'll learn
Most CDPs have moved beyond a “test-and-tell” approach to assessment; however, some continue to rely on familiar assessment tools they’ve used for years amid unrelenting service delivery targets. Although such resources may be readily available, reasonably priced and easy to administer, they may not always be relevant to the client. Without considering a client’s unique situation, assessment may simply be an item on a checklist, rather than an empowering, client-centred process.
This recorded webinar series will address these challenges by providing you with the skills to integrate diverse information-gathering strategies. By embracing a more holistic approach toward assessment, you will be better positioned to help clients cultivate a more nuanced self-understanding, ultimately leading to more effective career development support.
Expand your career, education and wellness assessment toolkit, considering formal and informal approaches
Examine the connections between assessments, labour market information and AI
Understand the importance of integrating assessment results from multiple sources
Be better equipped to incorporate assessment results into meaningful career conversations
And much more!
