Context and learning approach (Scotland)



19/29

In Norway

Overview

What are career management skills? Example frameworks




21/29

Where would a CMS framework be useful

. Some examples based on work in England.



22/29


Understanding and developing myself

1. I know who I am and what I am good at2. I interact confidently and effectively with others

3. I change, develop and adapt throughout my life

How do you develop these already?

How could you develop these further?


23/29


Example

An adult learning provider working with adults withlearning difficulties developed a toolkit of resources tohelp learning advisers and tutors facilitate initialassessment and person-centred planning.

Through improved understanding of themselves and theirlearning needs, learners are empowered to make theirown informed decisions


24/29


Exploring life, learning and work

4. I learn throughout my life

5. I find and utilise information and the support of others

6. I understand how changes in society, politics and theeconomy relate to my life, learning and work

7. I understand how life, learning and work roles change

over time




25/29


Example

City of Wolverhampton College used the Blueprint to helpfoundation learners to develop career resilience, to build

confidence and to set goals.

The relevant career learning competencies were

integrated into an existing career development programme

to help to sharpen the outcomes of the intervention.


26/29


Developing and managing my career

8. I make effective decisions relating to my life, learningand work

9. I find, create and keep work

10. I maintain a balance in my life, learning and work that is

right for me11. I plan, develop and manage my life, learning and work




27/29


Example

The career guidance staff at an FE college organise anannual career and progression event.

These events are used to challenge preconceived ideas

held by learners from stereotyping. For example, on one

occasion, the work of a successful former female student

was included in a talk by a university on transport design.


28/29


Is this just another thing to worry about?

Career management skills can be integrated intowider learning

Developing career management skills doesnt

necessarily involve increasing provision

A CMS framework offers a framework of learningobjectives that can be aligned with other learning

objectives

It also provides a framework for different

professional groups to work holistically.
