Recognition of our fragility and vulnerability
Has the pandemic changed this?
Lockdown is a pedagogic moment “In such a situation our role as careers workers is to help people to see that there are a range of different solutions to this crisis and that we need to think them through carefully and consider who benefits from each of them.” Hooley, Sultana and Thomsen https://careerguidancesocialjustice.wo rdpress.com/2020/03/23/why-a-social- justice-informed-approach-to-career- guidance-matters-in-the-time-of- coronavirus/

We need to help
people to believe that
a better life is possible.
We need to help them

response inDefining career guidance “Career guidance supports individuals and groups to discover more about work, leisure and learning and to consider their place in the world and plan for their futures… Career guidance can take a wide range of forms and draws on diverse theoretical traditions. But at its heart it is a purposeful learning opportunity which supports individuals and groups to consider and reconsider work, leisure and learning in the light of new information and experiences and to take both individual and collective action as a result of this.”
Career guidance has to be part of reconstruction strategies
Policy and practice in the pandemic
Many countries have invested in career guidance as
part of their response to the pandemic.
The rapid adoption of new technologies has been
essential in the delivery of career guidance.
There has been an increased demand for career
guidance, but it has often been difficult to satisfy
this.
Career guidance can support the post-pandemic
recovery.
