GUIDANCE WORK WITH INDIVIDUALS
Career planning is a process which helps someone to make a well informed realistic decision (WIRD) about a career. It is a step by step process to help make a transition and can help to measure the progress made (route map) by first establishing which way is forward.
Step One: Engagement / Motivation. The first step is the most crucial one. There could be a number of reasons why someone is not engaging, such as fear or attitude. A person first of all needs to be engaged and committed to planning for their future before any of the other steps can be made.
Step Two: Formula. This is the process which helps you understand and own a rational method to make a well informed realistic decision. You have to think about how important work is and where it fits into your life, identify what you hope to gain, what you can offer and also to identify what work demands from you.
Step 3 & 4 Self Awareness and Opportunity Awareness. This stage helps you to become self aware and also aware of the opportunities that are available to you.
Step Five Locate Opportunities. This step will help you to find opportunities, for example – where they are advertised.
Step Six Approach Opportunity Providers. At this stage you should be aware of the different methods of applying for opportunities
Step 7 & 8 Selection Process and Selection Outcome. This stage helps you to be aware of both the skills and knowledge needed to be able to progress forward. Clients can gain further support from Connexions at this point on mock interviews and interview techniques.
Step 9 Appraise Planning. Things can and often do go wrong, even with rational planning. If the plan does not work out, you have been empowered with new career planning skills, which will help you to move on as the direction the client will be moving in is forward.
I feel that the nine steps are easy to follow as they are broken down into logical and easy to follow
steps.
