Project "NAVIGUIDE"
Project Title
International Methods‘ Database for Vocational Orientation in Group Settings
Abstract
The Leonardo da Vinci project NAVIGUIDE intends to transfer and expand an existing Austrian "guidance methods" database, a product officially owned by the Austrian Public Employment Agency AMS (www.ams-forschungsnetzwerk.at ), into the European guidance system. The database developed between 2008 and 2010 contains more than 400 methods for guidance in group settings. NAVIGUIDE will establish this guidance methods database as a common knowledge base for European career counsellors, as various studies have shown that the quality of career counselling across Europe is affected by heterogeneous training.
Within the scope of the project, a survey with career counsellors who work in group settings will be carried out in each partner country (Austria, Croatia, France, Ireland, Poland, Turkey) in order to select 100 guidance methods for translation into the different national languages. Career counsellors will be trained in these methods in at least 6 one-day workshops (38 workshops altogether) in different European regions. Aside from the platform and workshop evaluations, an ex-post evaluation will show how applicable the methods are in everyday practice of guidance in group settings.
Key products of the projects will be a CD-ROM with 100 guidance methods, a methods guidance handbook as well as an online methods database in the different languages of the partner countries.
