Continuous professional development refers to maintaining, enhancing, and broadening individuals’ knowledge, skills, and the personal qualities required in their professional lives. The present experimental study attempts to explore the way(s) that the Life Construction intervention: “Constructing my Future Purposeful Life” contributes to career counselors’ sustainable career development. Two groups of career counselors participating in a training program delivered by the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens were involved, namely, an experimental group (N = 33) that received the intervention and a control group (N = 27) that did not receive any intervention. The effectiveness of the intervention was verified through qualitative and quantitative analysis, including the calculation of effect sizes, of the data obtained through the Future Career Autobiography, and the Greek version of the Life Project Reflexivity Scale. The results indicate that the Life Construction Intervention improved career counselors’ reflexivity and self-awareness, while, concurrently, the need for practical training in contemporary interventions to support their sustainable career development is highlighted. The main conclusion refers to the fact that the career counselor needs to construct his or her own Self as a sustainable project beforehand, in order to be able to support individuals in their own Self construction and promote their well-being.

Sekolah vokasi diharapkan dapat menjadi salah satu alternatif untuk bisa membantu memangkas tingkat pengangguran di Indonesia. Program revitalisasi dan berbagai kebijakan yang dilakukan masih belum cukup signifikan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan kerja lulusan. Dalam konsep employability development, kemampuan kerja lulusan perlu dipersiapkan sejak dini dengan dasar penetapan arah karir yang matang. Melalui career development learning dengan tahapan dasar yaitu membangun self awareness dan opportunity awareness, maka disusunlah sebuah program yang terdiri dari berbagai aktivitas yang disebut Career Development Learning Program. Sebanyak 26 orang peserta yang berasal dari salah satu SMK di Jatinangor berpartisipasi dalam program ini. Berdasarkan hasil analisa, terdapat peningkatan self awareness yang signifikan pada siswa. Pasca program, peserta juga mengalami peningkatan upaya dalam career self exploration untuk membangun opportunity awareness mengenai dunia kerja. Hal ini menjadi tahapan kritis untuk menentukan aktivitas-aktivitas relevan yang dapat berkontribusi pada pengembangan employability siswa selama dipersiapkan di jenjang sekolah.

AbstractThis paper is the fourth in a 5-part series that focuses on educating and training the clinical and translational science workforce. The goal of this paper is to delineate components of effective career development programs that go beyond didactic training. All academic health centers with a Clinical and Translational Science Award have a KL2 career development award for junior faculty, and many also have a TL1 training program for predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows. The training across these programs varies, however junior investigators across the United States experience similar challenges. Junior investigators can get overwhelmed with the demands of building their own research program, particularly in academia. 1Often, they are sidetracked by competing demands that can derail their progress. In these situations, junior investigators experience frustration and may search for alternative career paths. By providing them with additional professional skills in the 5 domains of: (1) self-awareness; (2) selecting the right topic and securing funding; (3) getting adequate support; (4) working with others; and (5) managing yourself, your career, and your demands. We will give junior investigators additional tools to manage these demands and facilitate their own career success.

Young women with disabilities often experience limited career options and opportunities. This study provides an overview and preliminary results from the “Paths 2 the Future” (P2F) curriculum designed to meet the unique career development needs of young women with disabilities. P2F includes 75 lessons covering topics of self-awareness, disability knowledge, gender identity, and career and college readiness. Survey data were collected from young women with learning, health, intellectual, and emotional disabilities who participated in the curriculum in four high schools ( N = 49). Paired sample t tests documented significant improvements from pretest to posttest scores for disability and gender awareness, vocational skills self-efficacy, self-realization, and an overall career development construct. Focus groups were conducted to gather feedback on participant experiences. Young women in the focus groups noted the unique benefits of a “girls only” class and described increases in self-awareness and personal empowerment.
