Network for Innovation in Career Guidance and Counselling in Europe

The document proposes a "NICE Knowledge Alliance" project to support the sustainability of the NICE network and quality of career guidance and counseling training in Europe. It involves 36 partner higher education institutions and enterprises from 20 countries. The goals are to: 1) Conduct a review of academic training standards in Europe; 2) Produce multimedia training resources; 3) Promote best practices through workshops. Key activities will include innovation clusters on special topics led by coordinators, and supporting future NICE conferences. The proposal aims to strengthen collaboration between practitioners and academics to improve career services and training.

NICE Knowledge Alliance Proposal for 2015 Dr Hazel Reid 6th NICE Conference in Bratislava – May 29, 2015
1. Purpose and Main Goals 2 In February 2015, a group of colleagues from NICE submitted a proposal to the European Commission to fund a “NICE Knowledge Alliance for Innovation in the Academic Training of the Career Guidance & Counselling (CGC) Workforce in Europe” (NICE-KA). Objectives of the Application:  Support sustainability of NICE and its achievements and keep the network going through large events and online-collaboration  Involve practitioners and guidance organisations in research and development to quality-assure academic training of career professionals  Conduct a systematic review of academic training in CGC across Europe (“European Competence Standards Benchmark”)  Produce multimedia resource kits for academic training in CGC  Promote good practices in CGC and the training of career professionals through train-the-trainer workshops
2. Partnership 3 36 Full Partners from 20 European Countries • 20 higher education institutions (HEI) with academic training and/or research programmes on career guidance and counselling (CGC) • 16 enterprises offering career services of all sorts, including public, profit and non-profit organisations 60 Associated Partners • Further HEI with degree programmes in CGC • Further enterprises offering career services • International scientific associations focussing on CGC • Professionals associations and certifying bodies • National guidance forums
3. Benefits of Involving a Large Diversity of Enterprises 4 A central goal of the project will be to conduct in-depth case studies of the challenges, which specific career services face in practice, including a validation of the European Competence Standards relevance for practice. For the development and identification of innovative, competence-based training and assessment methods, we believe that we will strongly benefit from practitioners’ experience in practice.
