It is important for those wishing to go into professions such as youth work, eldercare, social work, counseling, and teaching. An understanding of human development is relevant to many other careers that involve working with or for people.
Papers develop skills relevant to career objectives such as human relations, human services, program planning, community liaison, counseling, policy and evaluation, administration of programs concerned with the family or other groups and research.
