Planning Interventions

According to Niles & Harris-Bowlsbey (2012), “counselors may play a variety of roles related to the design and implementation of career development programs and services in their work settings. These roles may include advocacy, coordination, participation, design, management, and evaluation”. In Week Six, you will be developing an intervention for a special population. Interventions are also referred to as career development programs. As part of the preparation for the final summative assessment, this week you will build knowledge and background on the steps for designing and implementing career development interventions.

Evaluate one of the programs described in the Niles & Harris-Bowlsbey (2012) text. Based on the description, do you believe this program would be effective for the target population? Why? What would you add to improve the intervention? Post should be at least 300 words. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings by Day 7.
