Webinar overview
Career theories serve as the foundations of our practice, guiding interventions, and informing decision-making processes. Yet, many career practitioners may face challenges in translating theoretical knowledge into effective, everyday practice. In this webinar, we will overview eight “must–have” career practice principles to help you feel more confident and competent for working across practice roles and for determining your learning needs. The information shared in this webinar is based on the new CERIC book, Practice Principles: Career Theories and Models at Work and the new Career Practice Reflection Guide included in the book. These two new resources were developed from a synthesis of the practice points in the chapters of the popular Career Theories and Models at Work: Ideas for Practice to determine eight essential principles for guiding practice. This free webinar offers a great opportunity for you to strengthen the theory-practice connections in your own work!
Why career professionals should attend
Whether you are new to the career development field or an experienced career development practitioner, enhancing theory-practice connections in your work is always beneficial. There are many resources available to career practitioners, but it is important to consider what they have to offer. This webinar will be an excellent opportunity to highlight the practice principles while allowing participants to reflect on what guides their career development practice. Be prepared for an engaging session. Bring your phones to ponder, poll and post your ideas during the webinar!
Key learning takeaways
- Gain more knowledge about theory-informed practice
- Reflect on the practice principles that you currently use
- Deepen knowledge about the “group of eight” practice principles
- Set learning goals to strengthen theory-practice connections
Overview of the research project
How can career development practitioners strengthen theory-practice connections? Career practitioners need to be equipped with the latest theories and models in the field. It is also important for practitioners to make informed choices about the approaches and strategies they use in practice. The aim of this project is to provide practitioners with foundational principles for theory-informed career practice.
Based on an analysis of the practice points in the 43 chapters of Career Theories and Models at Work: Ideas for Practice, the chapters outline core foundational principles that every career practitioner can use and apply in their practice.
