3 GUIDANCE: definition and terminology.. those processes by which a person is empowered to become self and socially aware, conversant with opportunities that life presents and skilled to take and manage decisions and transitions.

4 Aspects of Guidance Guiding learners is the responsibility of all who lead and support their learning Learners needs for guidance can be categorised as personal, educational and vocational This programme has its focus on ‘vocational /career guidance’ however it is important to see the linkage with other aspects

5 ASPECTS OF GUIDANCE 1: Personal...those issues of a personal, individual, family and social nature For example: Health issues, Relationships in families, Relationships with other learners and other adults, and other groups, Emotional and behavioural difficulties, Questioning of beliefs and values,

6 ASPECTS OF GUIDANCE 2: Vocational …those issues arising in seeking a career/vocational role For example: What are my skills and talents? What jobs/careers are linked to my skills and talents? What job/career opportunities are there locally, regionally..? What pathway is best at 13/14, 16/17 and 19+ to develop my skills and talents to get where I want to be? What else will I need to succeed at each stage?

7 ASPECTS OF GUIDANCE 3: Educational... those issues arising from involvement in the education process (learning) For example: How am I progressing in my learning? Do I have any learning difficulties of disabilities? Do I know what I need to be doing to improve my performance? What support should I be asking for to help me in my learning? Have I got an individual learning plan linked to my future career hopes?

8 GUIDANCE OVERLAPS PERSONAL EDUCATIONAL VOCATIONAL All three aspects are linked. When considering best next steps in learning, personal life and job/career... having the correct information and honest conversations with others really helps.
