Unit Description

In this unit, you will consider lifelong learning within the context of a career. You will develop knowledge and skills that will enable you to lead the delivery of career development programs to a wide-ranging clientele. The importance of effective and theoretically based career programs in preparing all individuals for lifelong career decision-making has long been recognised.

As a practitioner, you need to develop skills to create innovative and flexible programs which will meet individual needs and have a solid theoretical foundation as the basis of your practice. You will consider the means by which varied theories and models of career development can inform your practice.

This unit will enable you to make connections between the theoretical foundations laid down in EUQ641 and the construction of effective career development programs which foster personal understandings of career, encourage individual construction of career and which are appropriate for diverse groups.
