PUBLICATIONS
Our publications are for everybody who works in people’s professional development – career advisors, teachers, further education lecturers, psychologists, social workers, coaches, therapists and also for people interested in further self-development. The aim of our books is to share our experience in the field of career guidance and counselling, to provide practitioners with useful information and tips for guidance activities as well as to encourage them to reflect upon their daily practice. As we strive to reach out to career practitioners not only in the Czech Republic, we often invite experts from different contexts and countries to participate in the creative process and contribute to our books. We received the National Career Counselling Awards in 2014, 2017, 2019, 2021 and 2024 for our publishing activities. All our publications were created as a part of European projects and are available for free.
A Practitioner's Guide to Uncharted Waters of Career Counselling
In this book we decided to explore the career practitioner’s role from the standpoint of relationships – to ourselves, our community and the world itself. We are analysing the impact of these relationships on our work, and looking into topics and challenges one can expect to face in each of these spheres. The handbook offers methods, tools and activities which career practitioners can employ while working with pupils and students to help them to make their choice more conscious and better planned in the context of their lives. The book is tied together by the topic of critical reflection, which plays an important role throughout the whole publication. The handbook was written as a part of the Erasmus+ international project, which brought together career practitioners from five partner countries (the Czech Republic, Denmark, Greece, Spain, and the United Kingdom). Publication is available not only in English but also in Czech, Danish, Greek and Spanish versions (on demand).
The Diverse World of Career Guidance
This book is for everybody who works in people’s professional development – for career advisors, teachers, further education lecturers, psychologists, social workers, coaches, therapists and anybody else who feels to be a member of our big family of “helping professions”. The main topic of the book is career guidance, which we understand as a supportive process that accompanies people through their whole lives. Eleven authors from three countries and from different organizations of different sectors worked on this book. The aim is to share some of our experience with you, the readers. We would like to inspire you in the first place and also show you that there is no ideal pattern for the “ideal career advisor”. We created the book with the support of the “Diversity in Career Counselling” project that was funded by the European Union. This publication has been awarded the Czech National Award in Career Counselling in 2017 and it is available in Czech and English.
