Action learning for careers change.

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
