For this assignment you will select a marginalized group (veterans,  minorities, individuals with disabilities, etc.) and write a paper of  1,750 to 2,100 words that can be used as a resource when working with  an individual from the selected group.

The paper should include the following: An explanation of who the population is and why it is    important for this group to receive career counseling Statistics on the group (e.g., how large, how many have    employment problems, how many utilize career counseling) Discussion of career counseling theory to be used with the group    (e.g., Minnesota theory of work adjustment). Include evidence    supporting the use of this theory in the general population as well    as within the group. Please note: If none are available, it is    important to indicate that as well. Basic plan for    counseling utilizing chosen theory (e.g., interview, use of    assessment tools, explanation of theory) Environmental/personal barriers that may prevent the client from    finding work (e.g., disability, substance use history, felony,    transportation, limited computer access) Local resources    available to help the client obtain work (e.g., job center, training    programs, support groups) Your conclusion on whether or not    this plan is tenable and will work, based on the information listed    above.   A minimum of four scholarly references.
