Promoting Professional Identity: Development of a Canadian Career Counselling Text

Presenters: Dr. Blythe Shepard, Dr. Priya S. Mani, and Allison Roest

Presentation at the CANNEXUS 2010 Conference

Conference Abstract:

        A discrepancy between the ever-increasing emergence of Canadian innovative programs and content in career related programs across Canada and their almost complete lack of representation within current career counselling textbooks used at the undergraduate level is apparent. Post secondary instructors within Canadian institutions are in need of material that is contextually based that will help them to teach more effectively. The main objective of this presentation is to share the analysis of a needs assessment survey that has been provided to career practitioners, academics, and various career development organizations and identify aspects considered pertinent that reflect the changing Canadian landscape of career development. Based on the results of the survey, the presenters will also examine the various factors that will need to be considered in pursuing the formulation of a Canadian career development textbook. Further discussion will ensue regarding audience perceptions of the potential framework proposed for the textbook. Additionally, discussion of the proposed framework in relation to the identity of career counselors will be considered.
