Action learning for careers change.
24th September 18:00 - 20:00
The Session:
Many people face severe difficulties in managing the progress of their careers.
They feel trapped in roles that are unfulfilling, stressful or unsuitable. Ways
forward are not clear. Action Learning is a group process devised for tackling complex
problems with no clear solutions. An experienced careers consultant will manage
the process but the key element is the focussing of collective enquiry into the
issue that the individual brings.
The Process:
In this session each participant will present to a group of half a dozen learners,
for a minimum of 5 minutes, the career difficulty or dilemma he or she is currently
experiencing. The rest of the group and the careers consultant will listen to the
presentation and then by means of questioning will assist them to explore and to
build a plan of action to address the issues raised. It follows that most of the
time will be spent listening and questioning a fellow learner. These periods are
a key part of the career learning process. Learning how others mange their career
development issues is a rich and inspirational resource for dealing with your own.
The Outcomes:
- An introduction to the theory and practice of Action Learning
- An opportunity to share and discuss career-related issues with other learners and with an experienced careers consultant
- Support in preparing a plan of action for your own career development
- Commitment to a number of actions to progress your career
