Career Thinking in Denmark

| Dr Barbara Bassot |
In early May 2014, Dr Barbara Bassot from the Centre
for Career & Personal Development travelled to Svendborg in southern Denmark
to a conference for career guidance practitioners. One hundred people attended and on the first
day Barbara presented her latest research on the Career Thinking Session. She outlined the model, describing its
theoretical underpinning and then presented the case of Holly; a young person
who was having difficulties deciding her next steps following her course in
health and social care. In the afternoon
Barbara ran a workshop where all the participants tried out the model. Barbara said:
“Watching one hundred practitioners trying out the model was thrilling
for me – they didn’t find it easy, but could see how they could use it with
some of their clients. Their feedback
was invaluable for my research.”
