Textul de pe ultima copertă
Written by nationally renowned career development consultant, Ed Colozzi, Creating Careers with Confidence is an inspiring, powerfully reflective, engaging, accessible, and valuable self-paced workbook. Based on highly respected and proven career develoment theory, this workbook facilitates discovering one's calling, increasing personal awareness, empowering self-efficacy beliefs, and understanding the possibility of creating careers with meaning and personal fulfillment.
Having consulted, trained, and taught in the career development arena for more than three decades, in the late 1970's Ed coined the term career/life, which reframes the notion of career as a choice involving multiple life roles. Ed focuses his work in discovering callings and the role of spirituality, meaning, purpose, and values in the career choice process.
Key factors that raise self-efficacy beliefs (performance objectives, verbal persuasion, vicarious learning experiences, and physiological states) are creatively woven into the fabric of the various activities, including the introductory fable, The Choice. Indeed, The Choice is a powerful metaphor for making career/life choices based on the Holland typology. Creating Careers with Confidence effectively teaches students about the career development process and offers an logical step-by-step approach that results in clarity, direction, and increased career decision-making self-efficacy. This model translates into student success in the classroom and school-to-work transitions.
Based on a constructivist approach and a combination of developmental, matching, and decision-making theories, this self-paced workbook offers the following benefits and more:
