6-2 Worksheet: Life-Planning Workshop Department of Psychology and Counseling, SNHU COU-630-Q1287 Career Counseling 22TW1 September 31 st , 2022

COU 630 Life Planning Worksheet This life planning workshop worksheet provides practice for providing career recommendations to support clients. You will be providing recommendations in your career assessment report. 1. If you had several clients similar to your final project client, how might you develop a life planning workshop to support these individuals? What would be the necessary components? A workshop involving several clients will require some necessary steps to ensure that the clients are grouped correctly and have similar needs. The first thing would be to identify the lifetime goals. Create a self-assessment list where these clients can evaluate their strengths and areas of opportunity, skills, and vision. This information would be analyzed and grouped based on their similarities for planning purposes. Create an avenue where the participants can have an open conversation about everything and nothing to familiarize themselves with each other after a brief introduction. 2. What career counseling model might you use to assist in your life-planning workshop? How does this model support the purpose of the workshop? The social learning theory of career counseling will be appropriate as it focuses on how the development and experiences of individuals throughout their lives influence the career best suited for them. Another model would be the strength-based approach that focuses on talents, knowledge, dreams, and the encouragement to advance schooling to achieve goals. The strength-based model will support the workshop's purpose because it will encourage the clients to focus on their talents, knowledge, and dreams as they choose their identity as counselors. The learning theory will support the workshop as it focuses on inherited personal qualities, life circumstances, learning through consequences, and skills gained through work experiences. The clients will use their responses from section one and assess if their original idea still stands or if there has had any changes.

3. Goals: a. What might be the goals of the workshop? List at least 3 goals. How does each goal relate to the purpose of the workshop (i.e., what practical tools/resources do you want for them to gain)? The top three goals for this workshop would be  Client Assessment – The aim is for the client to identify their interests, values, personality, skills, and what they consider good ingredients for a promising career. This goal will create a platform for the participants to understand their desires.  Setting the clients up for success – This goal explores different academic and career opportunities based on their interests and skills. It will involve conducting informal interviews with various persons in the desired fields, conducting a career search, and gathering information from online resources. It would also include researching for relevant graduate schools or certifications required to push the clients to the next level.  Decision Making – The workshop aims for the participants to decide on the following steps to take while depending on their individual career goals, interests, strengths, and values for guidance. Some of the plans would include a statement as "In 1 year I see myself as..., in five years I would like to be …," and to achieve that I would need… Ultimately, the final decision is in the hands of the participants; however, creating a platform where they can self-evaluate, gain confidence, have access to speak with other people from various fields, the motivation to follow through each planning stage, and clarity of the most the essential information needed for career growth or change. b. What content would you want to cover? Give details for how each goal will be accomplished.  For the first goal, the interest, skills, and work values assessment found on https://www.careeronestop.org/explorecareers/assessments/self- assessments.aspx would be taken by each of the participants before the first day of the workshop. The interest assessment would identify a list of careers that might interest the client. The skills assessment would determine the technical and soft skills of the participants. Knowing that values are beliefs about what people consider important or desirable, it

becomes essential to know if their values align with how they want to live and work.  After understanding the various personalities, values, and skills with potential careers, some professionals from such works of life will be invited to talk with the participants and for them to ask questions for better understanding. They would have to answer some questions to ascertain the career or educational path they want to choose. Questions like, “which career path do you see yourself in? Do you have the relevant skills required? If not, are you willing to get additional training? Do you think you can meet the demands of the job based on what you found on the career website? Is there a company you like best for this career? The stage is essential for preparation and decision making, which is the third goal.  Once the participants have had the chance to speak with some active professionals, they would be given a questionnaire to guide their decision- making process. It would include questions like “where do you stand now? How do you see yourself getting there? Do you know someone who works in this field? And are you comfortable with the pros and cons of the profession? What is your 30-60-90 days plan? c. What would be the outcome(s) of the workshop? Give examples of information that you might collect to demonstrate that the purpose/goals of the workshop were met and that participants gained helpful knowledge. It is a desire that at the end of every workshop, the participants should feel more comfortable about who they are and have clarity on what they intend to be. However, there might be instances where everyone does not have the same accomplishments. There will be worksheets or surveys at the end of the workshop on how the participants feel about each goal presented, which will be compared to what they were before the start of the workshop. To demonstrate that the participants understood the various career resources, they would fill out a form on the careers they are exploring, the skills relevant for each job, and where to get additional information. They would also engage in resume building identifying the skills they need for the next career. Knowing the personal skills to put on individualized resumes are tools.

4. Evaluation a. How would you evaluate the outcome of the workshop? Give examples of assessments you might use to demonstrate learning/growth/change or evaluative information that you might collect. Evaluating the outcome of the workshop would begin with a self-assessment form for the participants to share their experiences on what worked for them, and what did not, as well as what needs improvement. It is essential to keep in touch with the participants to follow up on their short-term goals for the first six months and once a year for the next three years for progress toward their long-term goals. Attendance along the way of the workshop schedule is a clear indicator of its worth. Participation in the dialog sessions is a good indicator of interest of the participant’s interest.
