An Inventory of Skills and Attitudes Necessary for a Career in Human Services/Adult Care.
Broadbent, William
This document is an inventory of skills identified as necessary by professionals in the human services field specializing in adult care. It is intended as a mechanism whereby educators can compare that which they teach against what the human services industry feels is relevant. Introductory material discusses the process of the occupational analyses, one of which resulted in this document; method employed; limitations; interpretation of industry data; and a narrative summary of industry data. The inventory of knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for successful participation in the human services field follows. The items are divided into knowledge and skills (for the care of the elderly and supervision of offenders in community service assignments) and general attitudes. Listings of the items indicate weightings assigned by industry representatives; numbers of representatives and percentages are given. The various weightings are essential, important, desirable, and not necessary. The average or mean scores are also given. (YLB)
