This infographic outlines the key strategies for success that support employment consultants as they get to know the jobseeker.

To support a person well, you need to understand who they are as a whole person: what they value, what they aspire to, what their life situation is and what they are capable of. In employment services, this process is often called things like ‘personalised client assessment’ or ‘vocational profiling’. Meaningful assessment activities help jobseekers and their supporters build a strong connection with employment specialists and highlight the person’s skills, interests and support needs.
