4.5 Selecting Learning Activities
To ensure that the career development process is a successful one, not only do activities
need to be integrated into a structured program, learners need sufficient time to engage
with the material and make it personally relevant and meaningful. When clients are
encouraged to see and to reflect on the relationships between learning activities, their
capacity to establish and work towards achieving their unique life, learning and work goals
will be enhanced.
Step One
Go to Appendix B, which contains the Activity Selection,
Design and Measurement Form, and make a copy.
(Complete a copy of this form for every local standard
related to each career management competency.)
Step Two
Use the results of your needs assessment (refer to
Section 4.2 – Assessing Your Clients’ Needs) to verify your
selection of the career competencies and performance
indicators that are most appropriate for your client/s. As you
begin to define the scope of the career development
program, keep in mind your organisation’s capabilities and
resources. Remember that successful programs often begin
in a small way and build on experience.
Step Three
Develop an appropriate local standard to demonstrate
competence of each selected performance indicator. Each
learner-focused activity should relate to a Blueprint career
management competency and performance indicator, and
include a local standard that states how and at what level
the learner is expected to demonstrate their skills against a
specific performance indicator (refer to Section 4.4 –
Developing Local Standards).
