Vocational Profile Person-Centered Planning Meets Term Paper

While he is protected somewhat by the anti-discrimination statutes, Ken will find that his lack of recent work experience and lack of higher education will limit his job prospects. There remain, however, some careers that can help Ken. Employ

RI has a networking center and Ken will need to become accustomed to working with that in order to find opportunities for himself.

Ken will be responsible for the bulk of the work in his job search. He will receive guidance from this department with regards to supervision and guidance. Within two weeks, a case worker will be assigned to monitor Ken's progress. Within four weeks, we would like Ken to have a short list of potential employers and have completed the different assessments of his skills.

Within two months, we would like Ken to have received training with respect to job interviews, online job searching and resume writing. It is hoped that shortly thereafter Ken can begin the process of informational interviews, and begin his job search in earnest after the three-month mark.

There should be regular progress reports, perhaps weekly, as Ken will need fairly strict monitoring to ensure that he is handling the process well. However, he will need to do most of the work himself, since it is this independence that we are trying to foster in Ken.

Ken is in a difficult situation, being faced with a challenging employment market, few marketable skills and multiple mental disorders. Although Ken is moderately functional in his everyday life, he has become so based on routine. A job search will disrupt this routine. Ken has little family support and few friends, so he will need a high level of support from the community for his job search.

Ken also has little knowledge of how to acquire a job, having not had to do so for over twenty years. It is believed, however, there are a number of potential positions for Ken, and he has expressed an interest in returning to working with food.

Ken's situation is one of the more difficult that we have encountered, but he has been good to work with, which bodes well for his situation. The process of putting together a plan for somebody with so much uncertainty is the focus of this document.
