Art and Visual-Based Practices
These techniques enable participants to discover and express themselves
in a career context, concretize their career transitions, and represent
them visually. Even simple drawing exercises play a complementary role
in helping participants express themselves from childhood to adulthood
by facilitating the transfer of feelings and thoughts (Afriyati et al.,
2023). Working with visual language and symbols is particularly
effective for people who struggle with verbal expression or have
different learning styles (Daniels, 2018).
Story and Narrative-Based Approaches
Literary techniques are valuable tools for individuals to explore
possibilities and find meaning in their career lives. Especially in an
age group where identity development is turbulent, such as adolescence,
biographical and autobiographical techniques provide valuable insights
into potential career development options and the progression of
development (Afriyati et al., 2023).
Experiential and Interactive Group Work
These techniques allow participants to experience situations similar to
their real-life experiences in a group setting. Drama experiences,
including the creation of a fictional story and the portrayal of a
fictional character, enable individuals to interact in a group setting
and transfer the knowledge and insights they gain to their real lives
(Nelson & Finneran, 2006).
Individual and Support Programs
These programs include resume preparation, networking, career planning,
job search skills, interview skills, parent cooperation, coping skills
development, and psychosocial support, covering both individual and
social and professional support resources.
