Textbook The textbook for this unit is: Niles, S. G., & Harris-Bowlsbey, J. (2017). Career development interventions (5th ed.). Boston, MA: Pearson Education. Studying for this unit The content of this unit has been designed to maximise the learning and the integration of the subject matter. Much of the unit material is specific to the Australian context. Students are encouraged to access additional information relevant to their local context, which will assist in applying the learning and ensuring its relevance. This may include specific legislation, government and professional association resources, and journals. It is important that students’ reading is broad. In general students are expected to: read each section of the unit carefully and make notes about new content, and points that are unclear, or in conflict with previous learning or experience complete readings of the text and other readings and resources, making notes on important insights or facts, especially those relevant to your assignments There may be periodic suggestions or issues on which students are asked to deliberate and reflect. Sometimes these are dilemmas or difficult issues associated with the study topic which have no right or wrong answers, but are used to trigger critical thinking. Face to Face hours by delivery mode: On Campus – OC: Units studied on campus are designed with 12 three hour classes, totalling 36 contact hours. Weekend Classes: Units offered as weekend classes must meet the required 36 contact hours. This is made up of 5 classes (9am-5pm) scheduled as per the unit timetable for the enrolled Trimester. Unit Outline: BESC2921 - Career Counselling and Assessment 3 Last updated: Trimester 1 2018 Blended Delivery - BD: Units offered in this mode of delivery require the student to attend: o Four synchronous sessions 1 ¾ hour synchronous sessions: 6.45 – 8.30pm o One two day workshop: 8.30-6pm Attendance requirements Attendance requirements ensure that students in PACFA-accredited courses meet their training requirements, and that learning outcomes are met. On Campus requirements (for students studying this unit on campus) In this unit provided by the School of Counselling, on-campus students are required to maintain at least 80% attendance. This means that students cannot miss more than three classes in a term. Blended Delivery requirements (for students studying this unit by Blended Delivery) Students are required to participate in 80% of all person to person learning overall (including workshops and synchronous webinars). Learning activities Learning activities are set in each section of the unit to give opportunities for further learning. They are designed to help students think through and practice the specific skills and general concepts presented in this unit. They do not need to be sent to the academic teacher for marking. However, valuable learning opportunities will be missed by not completing the activities. In studying this unit, students should maintain a learning journal for completing the activities. To structure the learning journal, set aside space for: completing a glossary of new terminology and concepts introduced in this unit notes on unit content and readings answers to learning activities draft assessments. Students can also keep the learning journal electronically. Self-assessment There are self-assessment questions at the end of each section to test students’ understanding of the section’s content. Try to recall the answers to these questions unaided. Write down answers from memory before going back to review the relevant material in the section. Some of the questions require more than simple recall. Some will require synthesising separate issues or different pieces of information. Real learning is not just remembering the reading. It involves owning this knowledge by: • reflecting Unit Outline: BESC2921 - Career Counselling and Assessment 4 Last

Introduction
Career counselling is a method that helps to guide people to know and understand themselves better. It helps in deciding a career, an education and making other important life decisions (Parker, 2002). The goal of career counselling is to help a person make an important decision they need to make, as well as developing the knowledge and skills to make further future career or major life decisions. Counsellors use many kinds of approaches to help the people in deciding the career. There are many theories and methods available, which can be used by counsellor as an approach to handle the client. The following essay uses the perspective of Trait and factor theory and learning theory of career counselling to understand career counselling.
Overview of Two Chosen Theoretical Perspectives
Trait and Factor Theory
This theory was developed by Frank Parsons in 1908 with the idea that better the fit between individual and occupation, better will be satisfaction. As suggested by Kosciulek, Phillips and Lizotte (2015), this theory matches talents, skill and personality to the career. People perform best when they are doing jobs suited to their abilities. As mentioned by Yunus, Hassan, Kamarudin, Majid and Saad (2018), in determining the person’s personality, their abilities, aptitude, and occupational interest, the person’s values are kept into consideration. As noted by Van Scheppingen et al. (2016), occupational decision making occur only when people have an accurate understanding of personality traits. A rational and objective judgement is then made about the relationship between the individual’s distinctive traits and the potential work force options.
Learning Theory of Career Counselling
    Learning theory was proposed by Krumboltz, Mitchell and Gelatt in 1975. As mentioned by Meijers and Lengelle (2015), learning theory has four factors that influence the choices made by the person as a career. These factors are special abilities or genetic endowment, learning experience, task approach skills and environmental conditions. As suggested by Reid, Bimrose and Brown (2016), one single choice of career is not best for a person. There is no specific single factor, which overpowers individual’s choice. Many factors influence the decision of choosing career. For example, people consider interest, scope, money, progress, job security and power while deciding career choice. People can develop excellence in their chosen career, if they want to expand their skills and interests. The role of career counsellor is not to make choices on behalf of a person instead guide them so that they can solve their job dilemmas. This theory is very popular among counsellors. Many of them applied it to handle the client.
                Intervention and assessment tool
Career education must be provided to the job suggestion made by the counsellor. According to Kelly and Pulver (2003), clients are told about all the facts about the career, which matches the abilities of the client.
Intervention for Learning Theory of Career Counselling
Information is given about all the suggested careers. Training is given to the most interested career chosen by client
Assessment Tools for Trait and Factor Theory
Aptitude test and personality test can be done to identify the best career choice, which can match the job (Arnold, 2004). These tools are used in trait and factor theory.
Aptitude Test
    An aptitude test is helpful in building a career for students or others looking for a change in career. As suggested by Alnahdi (2015), an aptitude test can be defined as a test, which is designed to identify a person’s ability in a specific field or about a person’s specific knowledge. It assesses the potential of the person for a job. It checks any knowledge in a specific area of those, which do not have prior knowledge of the field.
Personality Test
As mentioned by Hancock (2016), a personality test is a measure to test human capability. This test is helpful in measuring the level a person can perform at the specific job based on the interpersonal skills of that person. It also helps in identifying the factors that can motivate or inspire a person to perform well. It also identifies behavioural traits that help the person to excel in the role.
Assessment Tools for Learning Theory of Career Counselling
According to Ostergren et al. (2015), taking a Genetic test and competency test is the best to identify the career choice of the person. These tools are used in learning theory of career counselling.
    As suggested by Ostergren et al. (2015), a genetic test can be defined as a type of medical test to identify chromosomes, genes and proteins. Genetic testing is done to identify any special traits present in individuals, which govern special abilities. A genetic test is used to identify genetic endowment.
    As noted by Foley et al. (2018), a competency test can be defined as a test, which used to measure knowledge and the...
