Registration will open in early February.

This workshop presents practical interviewing techniques housed in a theoretical framework of behavioral assessment. While the focus of the workshop is on initial assessment of candidates, the methodology easily applies to assessing candidates in other stages of formation as well. Workshop participants study sample case reports, and learn skills for interviewing as well as guidelines for organizing the information into useful reports. Interview topics include: family background, educational and occupational histories, psychosexual histories and intimacy skills, faith history, and other pertinent issues related to comprehensive vocational assessment.

This workshop covered all it set out to do. The content was clear and relevant to my mission and ministry. What I found most helpful were the sample case studies and guidelines for organizing the data into useful reports.

—Father Nam Vu, S.V.D.

The most helpful part of the conference was real answers to real needs. My sense is that finally I have something to apply to the issues I struggle with in assessing candidates.
