Question #: 29
Topic #: 3
You are explaining the assessment process at your workplace to a new job coach. Which of the following statements MOST accurately reflects best practice in assisting a person to find a job of choice?
A.
The job-seeker's formal records should be read first, since they will include a great deal of relevant information that you must know prior to meeting the individual.
B.
Our agency begins the job development process simultaneously with individualized assessment.
C.
Our agency has a very good picture assessment for determining job preferences using these flash cards and asking your job-seekers to point to the jobs they might like.
D.
Our agency uses a "discovery" process that includes situational assessments based on the individual's identified interests.
The best practice in assisting a person to find a job of choice is to use a “discovery” process that includes situational assessments based on the individual’s identified interests. This is because this process allows the job coach to learn about the person’s strengths, preferences, skills, and support needs in various settings and situations, rather than relying on formal records or standardized tests that may not capture the person’s true potential or motivation1. The discovery process also involves the person and their family, friends, and other natural supports in identifying their employment goals and developing a career plan2.
