You may be delivering a career education course for the first time, or perhaps you are career practitioner who has just started out. On the other hand, you may be a seasoned career practitioner wanting to refresh your knowledge. This practical text supports career development facilitators in the application of career theories and related tools and techniques to address the typical career questions of upper middle and secondary school students and provide quality of career services in schools.

Careers Work in Schools: Cost-effective career interventions

This practical booklet explains the differentiated career service delivery model, developed at Florida State University. This model involves assessing student readiness for career decision making and then matching the type of career intervention to level of readiness. The desired result of this delivery method is that all students receive a level of career service aligned to their career development needs. Students low in readiness for career decision making receive one-to-one career counselling, students with moderate career decision making readiness have group interventions. Students with a high level of readiness for career decision making have more self-directed interventions.
