Mode of CG & PC
Stage 1: Insight
This is the fundamental preparation which should be undertaken
prior to making a decision about students' career and personal
development. It enables to address the questions 'who am I?' and
'what do I want?' It may include the use of tests, questionnaires
and self-appraisal exercises to help in addressing students':
-
Skills (what am I good at?)
-
Aptitudes (what am I capable of?)
-
Interests (what am I motivated to do?)
-
Values (what is most important to me?)
-
Personality (what work roles and environments would suit me?)
-
Career Drivers' (what are my key career needs?)
-
'Past Positives' (what activities & environments enable me
to thrive?)
Further exercises will enable Student Counselor to clarify these
results, leading to the creation of a 'Career Template', a summary
of those key elements a student must have in his/her career life.
This is the point student will reach by the end of Stage 1:
Insight.
Stage 2: Planning
With the increased clarity and confidence which Stage 1 can
provide, student will be in the best possible frame of mind to
brainstorm ideas for his/her future. Student Counselor will help
you to narrow down your list, and to produce a focused, realistic
and step-by-step action plan.
Stage 3: Action
Stage 3 consists of a number of modules. You can take one or more
of these modules immediately following Stages 1 and 2.
