This module on Career Information in Guidance and Counselling-II is aimed to provide you an understanding of ways of organisation and dissemination of career information. The emphasis is also equipping you with the knowledge of setting up need based career information service and its evaluation which is the responsibility of the counsellor.
Effective dissemination of career information to students and even teachers requires organisation or classification of career information collected for various sources in some systematic manner. The systematically classified career information also facilitates the task of updating and supplementing the information. Unit-1 provides a brief account of schemes available for classification of career information and their uses and limitations. Some of the schemes are very simple and easy to use in school setting.
Unit-2 is devoted to describing methods of dissemination of career information to students with a special focus on planning and organisation of various group activities. Involvement and co-operation of students, teachers, principal, alumni, community etc. in planning and organisation of activities has been emphasised to make dissemination more effective.
Career information also forms important part of career education programmes in schools. Unit-III is aimed at creating an understanding of concept and objectives of career education, main features of a career education programme and role of career information in the career education programme. Discussion of various models of career education can help in designing model suitable for implementation in a given work setting.
