POPI-Slovakia (The Institute of Processoriented Psychology - www.processwork.sk/en/) invites you to a:

 

Training in Navigating in search of a profession

Training in ressource-oriented career counseling

 

1 year training accredited by the Slovak Ministry of Education

lead by Thomas Diener

 

The complexity and diversity in the world of work has increased. Questions around the meaning of work and our needs and longings are gaining more and more   importance. Life paths are in a constant process of evaluation and re-creation and they don´t  follow a linear path anymore. For people, who don´t have „simple“ conditions it is especially important to discover their opportunities and strenghts. They can often be found in unexpected places.

 A person may become a valuable co-worker simply by the joy and enthusiasm they develop if a work is right for them. Resources often hide behind deficits. A proper perspective and way of working with the challenges is needed.

In this training you will learn and practice views and methods of navigating the career path. You will learn to use the decision making process for career and life planning traditional career tests and also „soft“ factors like dreams, wishes, hopes, values, excitement, calling, vision and imagination. The inner structure of this process and how to support others in it will also be taught. 

 

Target group:

For career counselors and work psychologists, social workers working with unemployed people, people from Human resource field, NGO's working in employment and economic development etc, and people from helping professions searching for new and creative ways to help people about the topic of work and life navigation.
