Counseling Students For Employment

Course Study Description

CCEUS34 - Counseling Students For Employment. [10 contact hours] - [$50.00 - NO OTHER COURSE FEES APPLY] The focus of this course is on the ways we counsel youth to enter the job market. We have neglected this segment of our school population too long. Counselors today must be in a position to address the needs of this group of young people who will take their places in society. The characteristic of this population and the barriers they find in fining and keeping jobs may be daunting. The course offers counselors some compelling solutions and suggestions that may be useful in responding to this challenge. The major parts of the course include diversity in employment-bound youth, opportunities for this group of youth, emerging economic investment for employment-bound youth, career development in the schools for students entering employment, school-to-work transition, career counseling for students entering the job market, the counselor and related career interventions, and the challenges to and the future of career counseling and guidance. The school counseling approach to the development of this major segment of our school population is the major concentration of the work in this course.
