More course information
This apprenticeship is for those providing careers advice and guidance. This ideally would suit where their work focuses on information, employability support and signposting as part of their own broader work role. The qualification will provide accredited professional development opportunities for those working in these areas and encourage progression in the sector.
You will be required to demonstrate your knowledge of the sector and analyse your own role within it. You will be asked to complete an assigned task showing the research you have undertaken and your analysis of developments in the sector.
Your development as a reflective practitioner is a key part of this qualification and you will need to reflect on this at the start of the programme and produce evidence on an ongoing basis including for example, records of learning and development activities undertaken.
Your knowledge of Career Guidance Theory and research on evidence based practice underpins your work as a guidance practitioner. You will be asked to complete an assigned task demonstrating your knowledge of this area.
You will need to write in-depth case studies demonstrating your application of guidance techniques in our work with clients. Observation of your practice in the workplace by your assessor is an essential assessment component of this programme and will contribute to generating evidence for assessment.
An essential part of the skill set as a guidance practitioner is to have an extensive knowledge of education and training systems and sources of labour market information and to be able to share this appropriately with clients. You will demonstrate this through your work with clients and by completion of a reflective account.
Your ability to network with other agencies, your work in referral planning and facilitation and your negotiation skills are also covered.
