Part of a 13-volume series designed to be used as a group inservice or a self-learning system to train school administrators and counselors for their role in career education, this module (Module 7) consists of a series of readings and activities to aid the counselor in assessing the career education needs of youth. (It is one of six modules for administrators and four for counselors developed in Phase IV of a five-phase career education project in Hawaii. The first two are common while the balance are specific to either counselors or administrators.) Module 7 contains a reading selection on a needs assessment strategy using the Hawaii Career Development Continuum (HCD) and three activities which instruct the counselor in the development and implementation of a career education needs assessment.
