Overview
Key facts
The Careers Counselling course from Warnborough College is aimed at students who have prior experience or training in a related field such as counselling or social work, but will benefit anyone in their own career planning and development.
Effective counselling requires a certain predictive ability that is based on the situation as it really is, which is often not the situation as the client perceives it, or as the client or counsellor would like it to be. One aspect of informed prediction will be, of course, a sound knowledge of the current job market and opportunities, which is an essential part of the Careers Counsellor's professional knowledge. Another aspect of informed prediction will be a realistic assessment of the client?s current and likely future state, which includes attitude, knowledge, skills, experience, interpersonal skills etc.
