CCC Events

For individuals new to the field, paraprofessionals, those whose job has some elements of career counseling but may not have it as the primary function, and for those wanting to break into the field of career counseling.

What makes a good career counselor? How do I work most effectively with my clients? Is my knowledge of the World of Work sufficient? What are the latest tools and approaches that career counselors use?

In this introductory seminar, participants use interactive exercises, role plays, small groups and case studies to broaden their understanding of the career development process, with particular emphasis on the helping relationship.

Topics to be covered:

• Career Development – Definition and Models
• The Role of the Career Development Professional
• Career Development Theory – How it Helps
• Ethical Guidelines
• Career Information and Resources
