Discover Together Conference 2023
Let’s meet in Uppsala 13-15 June to gain new perspectives and discover how career guidance conversation can be developed through modern technology. On the last day of the conference, I will share my best practice in Using digital technologies and creative approaches in career guidance counselling.
E-guidance or digital career guidance is now a natural and important part of the study and career guidance counselling and a complement to traditional guidance conversation. But what digital tools are available and how can we learn them? This session will:
- provide examples of digital technologies in use in careers conversation
- consider how digital technologies can be blended with “traditional” career work
- offer ideas for interactive and creative approaches in online career conversations.
Welcome to an introductory session where you will be taken on a guided tour and be inspired by innovative and pedagogical ideas on how digital tools can work together with our analogue working methods. You will receive a variety of concrete tips and ideas to try out new and different ways of working in the digital space with others. Discover how career guidance conversation can be developed through modern technology.
