Adaptation of sociodynamic approach in Polish career counseling
Time frames
June 2014 – June 2015
Project idea and results
The project focused on adaptation and developing in Poland the sociodynamic approach in career counseling. The method was tested in a group of 44 people at the age of 50+ from the region of Silesia, and the objective was to increase professional activity of the participants.
10 career counselors from Poland were trained and prepared to work in the method by the team of experts from Finland (Timo Spangar, Anita Keskinen). The counselors participated in supervision sessions. They also took part in a study visit in Finland where they learned about the labour market system in Finland, best practices in supporting people over 50 years old, and the practical examples of using sociodynamic approach.
Project participants took part in career counseling sessions where they verified their potentials, interests, job market possibilities and prepared the individual maps of life. They also benefited from vocational trainings adopted to their needs.
