Career management skills are understood … to be the skills attributable to the individual which contribute to managing their own progression through the various stages of work, learning and voluntary activity which comprise their own personal career. Career is understood as subjectively constructed, as ‘a personal pathway’ ….. (Ball, 1997).

Career management skills Career management is a process of learning and development that goes on throughout life. Career management skills are how we describe these skills so that we can intervene in their development. Often this will be by viewing a career management skill as a learning outcome for a career development programme

What about ‘employability skills’, ‘life skills’ and other skills frameworks? Employability skills Career management skills Life skills What your employer wants you to be able to do e.g. work in a team What you need to be able to do to manage your learning and work as part of your life e.g. identify work options; make choices What you need to be able to do to manage your life and relationships. e.g. make friends Source: Hooley (2015)

Are these really skills? Answer – no! Career management skills are not just ‘skills’. – Skill e.g. CV writing – Knowledge e.g. what do employers in my field like in applicants. – Aptitudes e.g. being good at networking and inter-personal relations – Attitudes e.g. work ethic, resilience Can all of these be taught/developed? Can all of these be taught/developed through career development programmes?

Kolb’s learning cycle

‘The principle of continuity of experience means that every experience both takes up something from those which have gone before and modifies in some way the quality of those which come after’. Dewey (1963, p.35)

Why have a framework? A framework offers a way of explaining career management skills to young people, parents etc. Career management skills can be integrated into wider learning A CMS framework offers a framework of learning objectives that can be aligned with other learning objectives It also provides a framework for different professional groups to work holistically.

Careers work and social justice: why it matters …. careers work is about who gets to do what in society; and there is no more important question in social administration Bill Law
