In states with universal mandatory reporting of child abuse and neglect (CAN), it is essential that people who work with children and youth in a community be appropriately trained to recognize and report CAN. The primary goal of CAN training is early detection and intervention with a secondary purpose of impacting rates of violence, disease, drug use, and teen pregnancies in the community. The purpose of this project was to implement a standardized, community-tailored CAN training for laypersons and a train-the-trainer program in a rural Oklahoma community. The CAN training was evaluated on knowledge, confidence, training satisfaction, and willingness to participate in the train-the-trainer session. The train-the-trainer session was evaluated on confidence and training satisfaction. Participant knowledge and confidence was measured by comparing pretest scores to immediate and 4 months after the training posttest scores. Posttest scores indicated increase in knowledge at the posttest ( p < .001) and posttest 2 ( p < .001). There was a significant increase in confidence at the posttest ( p < .001) and posttest 2 ( p = .009).

Az egyén életútját, karrierútját számos, tőle független körülmény befolyásolja. A gazdaság szerkezeti átalakulása, a pénzpiac előretörése, a foglalkoztatás csökkenése, a bérek polarizálódása, az általánosan instabil munkaerő-piaci környezet egyre nehezebbé teszi az egyén, de a társadalom számára is az alkalmazkodást. Ilyen társadalmi és gazdasági környezetben fontos feladat lehet az egyént felkészíteni arra, hogy – lehetőségeihez mérten – képes legyen élni az adódó lehetőségekkel, tudjon a körülményeknek megfelelően reagálni, változni és változtatni, saját tanulási útját és karrierútját menedzselni. Az életpálya-építési kompetenciák, vagyis a munka világában való eligazodás, a szakmai pályák ismerete, az álláskeresési készségek, a tanulási utak és képzési lehetőségek ismerete, valamint az önismeret kialakítása és fejlesztése segíthet az egyén számára a nehézségek leküzdésében. A fent leírt kompetenciák megalapozásának és fejlesztésének egyik alappillére lehet az iskolai pályaorientáció. Az életút-támogató pályaorientáció olyan folyamatként tekint a pályaorientációra, ami az egyént egész életútján át elkíséri, azonban nagyban épít az egyén önálló aktivitására. A modern (Savickas,Lent-Brown-Hackett, Krumboltz, Peterson-Sampson-Reardon-Lenz) és posztmodern elméletek (Bezanson, Brousseau) a régebben született modellek szintézisének is tekinthetőek, melyek közös elemei az életút-szemlélet, az életút során megjelenő döntési helyzetek kiemelése, valamint az életpálya-építés folyamatában az egyén önálló aktivitásának hangsúlyozása. A modern elméletekben megjelenő életpálya szemlélet, kapcsolódva az élethosszig tartó tanulás gondolatához az Európai Unió oktatáspolitikai és foglalkoztatáspolitikai irányelveinek alapgondolatává vált, mint a gazdasági problémák megoldásának egyik eszköze. Az uniós dokumentumokban, (Memorandum 2000, Lisszaboni Stratégia, 2000, Oktatás és Képzés 2010., 2020., Európa 2020., OECD, 2004., 2011) irányelvekben visszatérő elemként jelenik meg a készségek és kulcskompetenciák fejlesztése, az egyénhez alkalmazkodó tanulási igény kielégítése, az innovatív pedagógia, valamint az intézményrendszer rugalmassága, mely elengedhetetlenül fontos az egyéni tanulási utak támogatásának, és a különféle tanulási utakon szerzett kompetenciák elismerésének szempontjából. A szemléletváltás megjelent a nemzeti stratégiák szintjén is, azonban a valódi, hétköznapi gyakorlatban számos ország egyelőre csak javaslatként tekint az uniós ajánlásokra, de azok mindennapi gyakorlatba való beépítése meglehetősen esetleges.***An individual’s life and career is influenced by a number of independent factors: the structural transformation of the economy, the rise of the capital market, the decline in employment, the polarization of salaries, and the generally instable labour market environment make adjustment more and more difficult not only for the individual but for society as well. An individual’s career is hardly plannable, the fast changes in circumstances and the need to perform well in multiple roles results in uncertainty and puzzlement. In such a social and economic environment it is important to prepare the individual – taking their opportunities into consideration – to be able to take advantage of arising opportunities, be able to react to circumstances adequately, to be able to change and make changes, and manage their own learning and career paths. Career building competences, that is, the ability to find one’s way in the world of work, knowledge of professions, job search skills, knowledge of learning paths and training opportunities, and self-knowledge development can help individuals overcome difficulties even if we know that career paths have an objective economic definiteness that individuals cannot change. Career guidance in schools can be one of the pillars of founding and developing the above described competences.Career-supportive guidance sees career guidance as a process that accompanies individuals throughout their lives but builds on the individuals’ autonomous activity to a great extent. Modern (Savickas, Lent-Brown-Hackett, Krumboltz, Peterson-Sampson-Reardon-Lenz) and post-modern theories (Bezanson, Brousseau)can be understood as the synthesis of older models, whose common elements are the life-path approach, highlighting decision-making situations during one’s life, and emphasizing the individual’s independent activity in the process of career building.The career approach appearing in modern theories, connected to the idea of lifelong learning, became the basic motif in the directives of the European Union’s educational and employment policies as one of the tools of solving economic issues. In European Union documents (Memorandum 2000, Lisbon Strategy, 2000, Education and Training 2010., 2020., Europe 2020., OECD, 2004., 2011) and directives the development of skills and key competences, the fulfilment of leaning needs that accommodate individuals, innovative pedagogy and the flexibility of the system of institutions appear as a recurring motif, which are indispensably important from the point of view of supporting individual learning paths and acknowledging competences gained through different learning paths. The change of attitude appeared on the level of national strategies as well, but a number of countries consider the EU directives to be no more than recommendations in real every-day practice and their implementation is scarce.

AbstractIntroduction. Young graduates of nursing have a number of opportunities. This is mainly due to the staff shortages in the health sector.Aim. The aim of the thesis was the review of the literature related to the career paths of nurses, the migration of nursing staff, their motivation and the nursing staff field analysis.Conclusions. The article also deals with issues related to the image of a nurse in Poland. Polish nursing is currently grappling with many problems, and one of them is the migration of Polish nurses. Another one is a possibility of the development of nurses. Young nursing graduates are aware of the fact that the world is their oyster. They are awaiting the encouragement from the Polish employer. In addition, development opportunities should also be provided by employers, allowing their employees free courses and training. However, the reality is different.Summary. The thesis includes dilemmas and problems with which young graduates of nursing deal with, and raises the question what opportunities are provided for them not only by the employer but also by the whole health system.
