Course Description & Learning Outcomes

This course is designed to teach participants the principles and practice of Life Designing & Career Construction Theory (CCT). CCT is a post-modern theory of career choice and development. CCT assists workers in navigating career transitions by preparing them for a lifetime of change as they adapt and adjust to the dynamic, complex, and ever-changing nature of work in the 21st century. CCT integrates multiple career theories to help individuals address the What, How, and Why of career decision making. Narrative storytelling techniques are used to engage individuals in dialog as they narrate and re-narrate their vocational self-concepts. Workers build hope, resilience, and adaptability by becoming the managers of their own careers as they construct a new future and write the next chapter of their career.
