The National Board for Certified Counselors and the Institute for Personality and Ability Testing, Inc. (IPAT), developer and publisher of assessments and interpretive reports, recently collaborated to develop the 16PF Personal Career Development Profile (PCDP-PC Plus). Originally designed for professional counselors, based on the career development training and experience required for certification, CCE certified GCDFs are now eligible to administer the assessment.

The PCDP-PC Plus is a rich assessment tool that facilitates consulting with clients on how their personal strengths can lead to career success. The PCDP-PC Plus has applications for career and personal counseling, employee and manager training and development, personnel selection, and career transition coaching.

The instrument is administered and scored on a secure and confidential Web site. Once complete, a narrative report is generated - typically within five minutes. The report includes the Client’s Feedback Section, the Client’s Self-Review, Planning Exercises, and a special Counselor’s Section.

We encourage you to take a few minutes to see how the PDCP-Plus can be used to enhance your career services.
