Day 1: WeDnesDay, 3rD september

Problem-Centred Group Discussions

Drawing on the challenges raised in the key notes, participants will move into large mixed groups

to discuss the questions that have been raised.

1st Phase Working in Groups – For Guidance, Questions are Likely

to Focus on:

1. Are practitioners of career guidance and counselling learning what they really need to know

about the changing world of work and careers?

2. Are the current approaches to career guidance and counselling helping clients to flourish in

diverse work and cultural contexts?

3. Are career services really reaching all sections of the community who would benefit from

career guidance and counselling?

4. Are we successfully co-ordinating, managing and innovating career guidance and counsel-

ling services to address likely challenges of the future?

Objectives:

Participants will work towards developing a common sense of the problems, what factors have

led to them, what are the actual challenges? Discussions will be exploring the role that CGC

plays in solving these problems, alongside inviting criticism regarding the current approaches.

2nd Phase, Working in the Same Groups

• What are the critical issues?

• What are the most important points (not everything that matters)?

• How is everything connected from different perspectives?•
