PD Kit 4.2 Assessing Your Clients’ Needs Prior to developing a career development program, course, workshop or resource, it is imperative to assess the career development needs of your clients. Once you have identified the needs of your clients, you can determine the appropriate developmental phase and verify the key career management competencies and performance indicators that need to be addressed by your career development intervention/s. Blueprint career competencies that are frequently ranked highly by adults include: Career Competency 1: Build and maintain a positive self-concept Career Competency 4: Participate in lifelong learning supportive of career goals Career Competency 5: Locate and effectively use career information Career Competency 7: Secure/create and maintain work Career Competency 11: Understand, engage in and manage the career building process Quick Guide for Assessing Your Clients’ Needs Step One In Chapter 4 of the Blueprint, pp 60–62, read Step Two: Assess Your Learners’ Needs. Step Two Clarify your target group. Step Three Clarify who will be involved in assessing your learners’ career development needs. Step Four Provide explanations of the career management competencies to all participants contributing to the career development needs assessment. Step Five Conduct a career development needs assessment. Refer to Appendix A of the Blueprint entitled Career Development Needs Assessment Survey (collect data by means of formal survey, group brainstorming, one-on-one interviewing etc). Consider your target group and modify the survey questions, design or delivery as appropriate to the needs and abilities of your groups. 38 AUSTRALIAN BLUEPRINT FOR CAREER DEVELOPMENT – ADULTS PD KIT
PD Kit Step Six You may also wish to conduct an appropriate literature search to explore any broader research and enhance your understanding of the career development needs of your target group. Step Seven On the basis of the needs assessment, prioritise the career development needs of your target group. Step Eight Verify developmental phase and identify key Blueprint career management competencies and performance indicators which are significant to this target group. A NEEDS ASSESSMENT SURVEY CHECKLIST 1. Write clear and simple directions. 2. Check to see that the reading level is appropriate for your population. 3. Ensure that the survey is bias-free. 4. Plan to accommodate people with disabilities who are part of your survey group. 5. Keep the length of the survey reasonable. People are not as likely to respond to a survey that is excessively long. 6. Structured responses (yes/no, multiple-choice, scale ranking) are easier to tabulate than open-ended responses. 7. Develop a system to ensure confidentiality of responses, if necessary. Conform to ethical guidelines that apply to your context, and develop permission forms where necessary.
