MACAT 521 - Lifestyle and Career Development

3
This course examines a person’s career trajectory and dynamics within the context of the lifestyle. Students learn to assess career interests, aptitudes, and options. These will be explored as individual and collective sources of work information. Understanding how these are embedded within the lifestyle allows students to help clients with career decisions and transitions in the broader perspective of total personal development. This course examines career development and decision-making models and ethical counseling applications to diverse/multicultural client populations. Students select, administer, interpret, and evaluate a variety of art therapy-related (as well as counseling and psychotherapy-related) assessment instruments and utilize information for the purpose of educational and labor market information for the purpose of career planning and development. In addition, students develop and evaluate career services/ programs for particular groups in school, agency, or business settings.
