Job
Loss Case Study
For
this assignment, assume a large employer is closing in the community.
In the Longevin family the grandfather, Joe (age 60), the daughter
Angela (age 40), and the grandson, Peter (age 20), are all losing
their jobs. When Joe was 42 he was diagnosed with depression, but has
controlled this for the past few years. You can embellish this
scenario as needed, including cultural implications, to address the
following elements in this assignment:
Compare
and contrast the three career stages of Joe, Angela, and Peter.
How
might their roles change from this job loss? What factors would you
consider in the job loss, including mental well-being? What
strategies would you use to help with these changes?
What
strategies would you use to develop a lifelong learning philosophy
with each person in this family?
In
the previous unit you learned about different assessment
instruments. Name one assessment you would use for each person and
describe the criteria you used for this choice.
Assess
the cultural appropriateness of the assessments you chose for each
client.
Your
assignment should be 3–4 pages in length, follow APA format and
style, and include at least three references, including your text.

Unit 4
Assignment: Elements of an APA PaperStart
writing your introduction here (1–2 paragraphs). An effective
introduction prepares the reader by identifying the purpose of the
paper and providing the organization of the paper. Please
double-space and remember to indent all paragraphs throughout your
paper (not block form!). Aim to keep your writing objective using 3rd
person. Unless required for the specific assignment, please do not
include a Table of Contents, as it is not APA style. Review paper
guidelines on page requirements and number of sources required.
Unless citing a classic work, aim to cite research articles and texts
published within the past 5 years. Please use headings throughout
your paper that are consistent with the paper’s scoring guide (that
way you ensure you are adequately addressing all required areas.).When
you finish writing your paper, re-read it to check for errors and
make sure your ideas flow well. A helpful tip is to read your paper
aloud to yourself. If it does not sound right to your ear – it is
not working on paper! Please submit your papers to Turnitin (linked
in the course) to check for plagiarism. Also, remember as a Capella
learner you have FREE access through iGuide to personal tutoring
services with Smarthinking.com.
