A national conversation around the importance of vocational evaluation and career assessment
Saturday, April 10th, 2010The 14th National Issues Forum on Vocational Evaluation and Career Assessment has been in process this week in Oklahoma. I’ve been fortunate to be attending this great event where such practitioners assemble from all over the US (and parts of Canada) to share best practices, strategies and resources. I’ve attended these Forums since the second in 1986. Always a great place to reunite with like-minded professionals that value the importance of vocational evaluation and career assessment processes that celebrate multiple hands-on measures to determine career abilities.
This Forum was especially exciting with the kickoff keynote address by Brian Kurth author/owner of Vocation Vacations. I enjoyed Mr. Kurth’s message around adult career mentorship that assured work life balance. As Mr. Kurth noted, such work/life balance for any individual should include a career opportunity to do something that allows passion, fulfillment, and the pursuit of happiness. I’m looking forward to one day hopefully “test driving” one of his listed dream vacations!
