Inclusive Career Guidance
When it comes to learners with special needs, counsellors need to be capable to identify and understand learners’ barriers, know how this may influence their career orientation and decisions, and tailor career guidance activities to their needs. Within our project, we have collected a number of useful tools and reference materials.
In this document you will find a short description of five different types of barriers that vulnerable students may encounter throughout their student journey and how this can affect their career orientation and decisions. You can use this document to reflect on the way how your institution currently identifies the possible barriers and how you develop career guidance plans for these students.
