The Question is the Answer: The Cultural Preparedness Approach to Assessment for Career Guidance
Gideon ArulmaniB1.02 Bohemia
An important proportion of the engagement between a career counsellor and a client focuses on bringing together information that would sharpen self-awareness for effective career decision making. The methods used to collect and organise this information could be influenced by the philosophic and theoretical models to which the career counsellor is committed. The rationale underlying methods of assessment and measurement have been the subject of extensive debate and the field has differentiated into the quantitative (psychometric) and the qualitative (non-psychometric) positions. Methods of assessment that are not culturally relevant to a given population could, albeit unintentionally, become agents of marginalisation and exclusion. However when an assessment technique draws upon context and lived experience it can become a powerful tool for inclusion and empowerment.
This workshop presents a brief critique of assessment methodology and demonstrates the Strengths and Accomplishments Questionnaire (SAQ), which takes a blended approach to assessment for career guidance, based on the cultural preparedness model. Participants will have a chance to experiment with the method and consider how it could be adapted to their contexts.

Participating in integrative qualitative-quantitative career construction counselling in a group-based context
Kobus MareeB1.03 Moravia
It is common knowledge that career counselling is no longer regarded merely as an intervention aimed at advising people on matters such as finding an optimal fit between their traits and the requirements of a certain job. Instead, today, the primary aim of career counselling is to elicit people’s ‘stories’ through qualitative/storied assessment and their ‘scores’ through ‘testing’. Used integratively, these stories and scores can be drawn on to help people clarify their preferred interests, attributes, and strivings related to their career-life tasks and also their key career-life themes. Activities linked to certain life tasks can be planned jointly by counsellors and their clients and merged in relation to their key life themes to form career-life projects. This promotes the development of people’s career life-themes and enhances their career adaptability, career resilience, employability, and career agility – ultimately, improving their chances of designing purposeful lives.
In this workshop, by building on self- and career construction theory, life design counselling theory and by promoting reflection and reflexivity, participants will be helped in a group context to integrate their own ‘stories’ (outcomes obtained from completing the Career Interest Profile, a qualitative career counselling instrument that enables career counsellors to identify clients’ interests, areas for development, and major career-life themes) and their ‘scores’ (the outcomes of completing the Maree Career Matrix, a twofold quantitative measure of career interests and self-estimates of confidence in aptitudes to follow certain careers). Participants’ skills in career counselling will be raised to a level that is more contemporary, holistic, and contextualised.
