About Us
The idea to develop an online training programme for career guidance practitioners as a tool for their self-regulated professional development arose in the course of the previous Erasmus+ project “Quality in Career Guidance” in which the Czech Association for Career Guidance and Career Development participated as well. One of the outputs of the former project has been a mentoring programme for careers professionals aiming to support their professional development. The feedback we received during the pilot run of the programme sparked an idea to develop an e-learning platform that would offer a high-quality and freely available education service for career guidance practitioners. Our vision is to offer them a virtual study room with diverse topics from the field providing a quality tool for their self-development, expanding further each year.
The project ‘E-learning for Career Guidance Practitioners’ (C-Course) started in October 2020 under the coordination of the Association for Career Guidance and Career Development in the Czech Republic. The aim of this project is to develop a flexible, self-paced and freely accessible online course for career guidance practitioners and professionals across Europe. The C-Course is produced in 5 different languages (English, Czech, Slovak, Polish, Norwegian) and it is aimed at:
- career guidance practitioners and professionals involved in the delivery of career guidance and counselling across different sectors (i.e. youth and adult education, public and private employment services);
- educators and training providers (e.g. academic institutions, professional associations, educational institutions);
- students enrolled in the career guidance and counselling academic programmes.
The high-quality learning content and effective and user-friendly method of delivery is guaranteed by the wide transnational cooperation of 5 partner organisations with diverse expertise:
