This document contains the fourth edition of a career planning and placement guide designed as a self-evaluation tool for practitioners involved in career planning and placement programs. A mission of career planning and placement services is briefly presented. The self-evaluation form of the career planning guide is presented in seven segments: (1) program; (2) organization and administration; (3) human resources; (4) funding; (5) facilities; (6) campus and community relations; and (7) ethics. For each segment, objectives are listed and a number of standards are described. Users are instructed to check in the boxes at the right of each standard whether the program, activity, or competency exceeds the standard, meets the standard, or needs improvement. In the program segment, objectives and standards are listed in the areas of career counseling, placement counseling and referral, and student employment. In the human resources segment, standards are listed for professional staff, support staff, and general. In the campus and community relations segment, standards are listed separately for the campus and for the community. All other segments are undivided and objectives and standards are presented for the segment topic in general. Space is provided for the user to write comments for each of the standards in the guide.
