By Paul Stevens

It is inevitable that, as time passes, researchers or practitioners in career and worklife counselling evolve new theories and models or refine those already well known. The Stevens’ Model of Career Development is one of them. I devised an early version of the model in 1981 and since that date, considerable refinements and extensions have been made.

Teleseminars

A new dimension of online learning has burst on the scene and the US is leading the way. Canada, with its distinction of being a leader in the career field, is lagging behind our neighbours to the south. Teleseminars are changing the learning landscape and burning up the telephone lines with individuals who yearn for an alternative means of learning.
