Career guidance and counselling in an international school in Hong Kong: Literature review and a school counselor’s reflection

Abstract

This qualitative study investigated key features of the Students’ Career Development Association (SCDA) in a Chinese mainland university. This university has been recognized for its pioneering achievements in career guidance. The operations and development of the SCDA were explored to determine how career guidance provided by the association enhances students’ career competencies. Results provided a paradigm that other universities could use for reference when developing career guidance services operated by students. The study contributes to the exploration of career guidance in university contexts.

本文旨在透過學校諮商師的反思，探討香港一所國際學校有關事業諮商與輔導的實踐綱领。該校諮商師為確保所有學生能充分發揮潛能，在「個人、社會與健康教育」課程中，融入事業教育，使學生能從知識、技巧、正確態度和價值觀，為未來（包括升學及就業）作出知情決策。現有文獻缺乏探討有關國際學校事業諮商與輔導的實踐，本反思文章希望可以就此填補一些空隙。
