National Career Development Association (NCDA) is excited to release the re-imagined 7th edition of their influential guide to career assessment. Re-conceptualized and renamed to "A Comprehensive Guide to Career Assessment," the "Guide" contains important information career counselors, educators, and practitioners will find invaluable in learning about career assessment and selecting assessments specific to client needs. The "Guide" is a resource that connects to multiple service sectors and embraces global perspectives of career assessment. The book begins with six newly updated chapters that provide foundational knowledge of career assessment. The next section includes more than two dozen peer reviews of assessments. The reviews are separated into four categories reconceptualized to reflect the emerging literature in career assessment. Those categories are quantitative, qualitative, research, and open source, which cover the traditional categories of assessment (e.g., interests, values, skills) while encompassing qualitative processes in assessment, research of processes and new instruments, and open-source (i.e., free) resources for practitioners. Release of the concise, yet comprehensive, 7th edition is unique compared to former editions. This book is comprised of the following parts: (1) Foundations in Career Assessment (print only); (2) Applied Career Assessment (online only--requires a separate purchase); (3) Global Perspectives on Career Assessment (online only--requires a separate purchase); and (4) Career Assessment Instrument Reviews (print only--unless otherwise noted).
