Core Skills for Work Developmental Framework (CSfW): Overview (12 pages): https://docs.education.gov.au/system/files/doc/other/cswf-overview.pdf Framework (58 pages): https://docs.education.gov.au/system/files/doc/other/cswf-framework.pdf About The Australian Government has funded the development of the CSfW. The CSfW describes the non-technical skills, knowledge and understandings that underpin successful participation in work (paid, unpaid, self-employment or voluntary). These skills may be known as generic or employability skills. They are transferable across occupations and jobs and may be developed in a variety of life roles and activities. The CSfW adopts a developmental approach to these skills, based on a continuum of increasing expertise from novice to expert and acknowledges that an individual may be operating at different levels for the various skills. The CSfW is designed as a developmental tool to assist trainers and educators in the design, targeting and delivery of training and to assist those who work with job seekers to prepare them for entering employment.

CSfW Bridging Document Link: https://docs.education.gov.au/system/files/doc/other/csfw20-20bridging20document.pdf (10 Pages)

About The idea of employability, ‘soft’, transferable, generic and core skills for work that generalise across occupations is not new. The continued need for these skills is reinforced by Australian Government Department of Employment research into employers’ recruitment experiences (see: http://lmip.gov.au/default.aspx?LMIP/GainInsights/EmployersRecruitmentInsights) CSfW does not replace, but rather supports and operationalises earlier frameworks.

About Career Interest Inventories There are many career interest assessment tools that purport to measure career interests and that suggest some potentially suitable career options to investigate further. Reliable and valid tools that have been thoroughly researched are usually not free of charge. These tools are typically purchased on a subscription basis, or for single online use, or in pencil and paper form with accompanying technical manuals. There are many online tools that can be freely used that have not been subjected to research studies to investigate their psychometric properties. Without research support, it is not possible to be confident about precisely what these tools actually measure. Nevertheless, students enjoy completing psychometrically sound and other career interest inventories that generate some career options for further consideration. Some examples that are reliable and valid for high school populations include: Kuder career interests, skills and values assessments (i.e., My Education) The Self-Directed Search Morrisby The myfuture career interest questionnaire, a shortened version of Dr

James Athanasou’s (1988; 1994) Career Interest Test (CIT). Bartlett, Perera, & McIlveen (2015) developed the shortened version, renamed 21-CIT. The Skills test is also a psychometrically sound tool developed by Dr James Athanasou. The myfuture link is https://www.myfuture.edu.au/userhome#/. Students will need to sign up or log in. From the menu option students will need to select My Career Profile. From there they can complete the 21-CIT interest questionnaire. They can then choose Suggested Occupations to view and further research a list of suggested occupations based on responses to the 21-CIT. Students can continue on with other questionnaires.

Some examples of career interest assessment tools that may or may not have been subjected to research studies to establish reliability and validity are listed below. These tools should be considered as guides rather than psychometric assessments. Students are likely to enjoy completing these activities. The career interest profile and suggested occupations should be compared to the results of any psychometric career assessments that students complete. Agreement across different assessment tools and assessment methodologies gives greater confidence in the results and occupational suggestions.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=au.gov.employment.careerquiz Based on the answers given, a range of potentially suitable career ideas are suggested and job profiles are provided. The job profiles include information on average weekly pay before tax, expected future job prospects, qualification levels, a description of the tasks involved and an external link to vacancies for the occupation by state or territory where further information can be gained. The Good Careers Guide Aptitude Test - https://www.goodcareersguide.com.au/aptitude-test/ A series of images of workers doing their job is presented. Students select an emoji (smiley face, neutral face, sad face) to indicate whether they would: (a) like the work activity; (b) be neutral in terms of like or dislike; (c) dislike the work activity. When completed, the career interest category suggested by the pattern of responses is presented, together with some related career ideas. When an occupation of interest is selected, a profile of that occupation is presented, including personal requirements, education and training, tasks and duties, working conditions, employment opportunities, facts such as average weekly wage, future growth for the proportion of jobs by state or territory, weekly hours, unemployment rate, gender split, distribution of educational qualifications, age distribution and links to related courses by state or territory and related careers. The Australian Apprenticeship Pathways Career Interest Explorer – https://www.aapathways.com.au/career-interest-explorer?returnUrl=/careers-for-australian-apprenticeships-traineesh/interest-explorer-page When the interest questionnaire is completed, students can view the related career interest category and browse related industries. Information includes an industry overview, apprenticeship commencements, employment outcomes, wages, industry growth, industry size, and key occupations in the industry, qualifications and pathways charts. Career Interests 123 Test - http://123test.com is a European site that contains freely available psychometric tests, but with limited interpretation. (A more comprehensive interpretation is available for a fee.). The Career Test is based on Holland’s theory of vocational personalities. It involves clicking on images to identify most preferred and least preferred work types. Students could use this to compare results with other assessments using Holland’s theory. There are other useful tests on this site for quantitative career assessment. These are identified in the Section on Identity below. Reflecting on Career Interest Assessments See Appendix 1 for an adaptation of the Integrative Structured Interview (McMahon & Watson, 2012).

Unit 1: Personal Management Topic 3 – Change and grow throughout life 3.2 Career adaptability Resource Teacher

Back-ground

Student Activity

About Career Adaptability Career adaptability refers to readiness to make career choices and self-regulation strengths that individuals can draw on to solve career problems and cope with the demands of meeting societal expectations about preparing for and participating in the work role, managing multiple career transitions throughout life and coping with work traumas such as redundancy, industry restructure, company closures, end of employment contract, etc. (Savickas, 2002, 2012). These self-regulation resources are attitudes, beliefs and competencies associated with concern about one’s vocational future, a belief that one has some personal control over it by exploring, refining and deciding, attitudes of curiosity expressed by exploring self and possible future learning and work scenarios, and confidence in taking steps to pursue one’s aspirations (Savickas, 2013). Students who are concerned about their vocational future and planning for their career, who believe they have some control over their vocational future and can make decisions about it, who curious about possible future selves in learning, work and other life roles and who feel confident about in being able to make career decisions and implement them have the internal coping mechanisms to respond to societal expectations about preparing for, participating and reflecting on work and to manage career transitions and work traumas throughout life. For example, before commencing Year 11 students are expected to make subject choices for Years 11 with Year 12 in mind. Making these choices wisely requires students to: Be concerned about their future and realise that subject choices and

decisions about how much effort to into school work can influence their future options.

Exercise control by knowing how to make decisions and taking responsibility for their actions (e.g., choosing certain subjects and not others, deciding how to approach schoolwork, etc.

Be curious about the range of school subject options and their current career ideas, including school subjects that are prerequisites for these or helpful for their future course and career preferences.

Feel confident in being able to implement their current career preferences by being able to make appropriate subject selections and feeling confident in knowing how to overcome difficulties (e.g. not passing a subject and needing to find alternative pathways, attending tutoring, studying a lead in subject in Year 11 to enhance success in a related subject in Year 12, etc.).

The Meaning of ‘Career’ From a developmental perspective, career refers a series of occupations, jobs, and work assignments undertaken over the life course. Each person has one career, but may work in a range of occupations and jobs or take on a range of different work contracts, or engage in various enterprise activities. These may be related to one or more career fields or industries over the course of life. Thus, individuals have one career. However career is influenced by a variety of life roles and activities that individuals engage in as well as factors in an individual’s social, environmental and historical context. In turn life roles and activities that individuals engage in and their contexts give shape to career (Savickas, 2013; Super, 1980, 1990). From this perspective, career can be regarded as being comprised variety of life roles and activities that individuals embrace throughout life.

Planned Happenstance The following is adapted from Krumtoltz, J. (2009). The happenstance learning theory. Journal of Career Assessment, 17, 135-154. Happenstance Learning Theory states that individuals are a product of countless learning experiences that are derived from planned and unplanned situations in which they find themselves. The situations in which individuals find themselves are partly a result of factors they have no control over and partly as a function of actions they have initiated themselves. There are many seemingly unplanned events that individuals can take some control over through their own initiative. For example, a student may decide to:

Get involved in a college or school committee Do work experience Volunteer Play school/college sport Register for a careers expo, jobs fair or taster event. Make a direct approach to employers. Follow a company they would like to work for and/or a person who

works for that company on social media. Planned happenstance occurs when individual take some control over seemingly unplanned events with the aim of achieving a desired outcome. This can be achieved by:

Taking actions that allow the individual to experience the event During the event remaining alert potential opportunities that may

arise After the event, initiating actions that facilitate a desired outcome.

For example, the whole year group may be advised of a careers expo and how to register their attendance. Some students will register, others won’t. A student may register to attend the career expo to learn more about local employment opportunities. While there she may have a chat with a representative of a local business that employs apprentices in an occupation of interest. After the event she may make a direct approach to the employer to express interest in any apprenticeships that may come up and to request work experience so the employer can assess her suitability and work readiness.

Appendix 1 – Structured Integrative Activity

Crafting Stories Around a Career Interest Assessment After completing a career interest assessment ask students to write a reflective journal item by responding to the following questions in relation to their top three scoring interest types. 1. Crafting a story about your top three career interest types

What are your top three career interest types? How would you explain each of these career interest types? How would you explain the order of your top three interest categories?

2. Crafting a story about the order of the top three career interest categories

If you were to locate your top three career interest types on a scale from 1 to 10 where 1 was least important and 10 was most important, where would you locate the first type, the second type and the third type?

How do you interpret the location of your career interest types on the scale? For example, are they close together, evenly spaced, or far apart?

3. Crafting a story about your top three career interest category in life contexts

In what ways is the first career interest type evident in your life? In what ways is the second career interest type evident in your life? In what ways is the third career interest type evident in your life? What relationships do you see between your top three career interest categories and

various facets of your life, such as your work, learning and other life roles? 4. Crafting a story about your top three career interest categories through personal

reflection What personal qualities have you identified in your reflection so far that are most

important to you? 5. Crafting an integrative future story using your top three career interest categories

and past and present experience Based on your reflection in the previous questions, what could you look for in future

work opportunities to enjoy your work life?
