CAREER PLANNING BEGINS WITH ASSESSMENT: 

A GUIDE FOR PROFESSIONALS SERVING YOUTH WITH

EDUCATION AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES

To successfully make the transition from school to adult life and the world of work, adolescents and young adults need guidance and encouragement from caring, supportive adults. The best decisions and choices made by transitioning youth are based on sound information including appropriate assessments that focus on the talents, knowledge, skills, interests, values, and aptitudes of each individual. This guide serves as a resource for multiple audiences within the workforce development system. Youth service professionals will find information on selecting career-related assessments, determining when to refer youth for additional assessment, and additional issues such as accommodations, legal issues, and ethical considerations.

Where, then, is that fine line between "horn tooter" and "cocky son-of-a-gun?" And, more importantly, how can you ensure that you stay on the right side of that line in your next job search?  Click here for four things you and your job seekers need to know about talking about themselves.
