Pilot Evaluation of the Career Assessment Inventory for Use in Apprentice Placement.
Abstract
The purpose of this project was to pilot-test a commercially available vocational interest inventory for possible use in shipyard apprentice placement. The inventory(the Career Assessment Inventory) and a job satisfaction questionnaire were administered to 312 first-year apprentices. Analyses indicated that the inventory related well to job satisfaction but could not discriminate adequately among people satisfied by work in different shipyard trades. For this reason, it was not recommended for use in differential assignment. Inventory detection of blue collar interests in general has some potential usefulness for counseling shipyard applicants.
