帮助学生确定方向
当学生们对毕业后的未来不确定时,他们经常会向导师寻求建议. 辅导员可以通过引导学生找到合适的资源来提供指导, 参考职业专业人士, 参与有重点、有意义的对话. 学生可能需要帮助来确定他们的兴趣, 确定最好的职业道路, 或者制定另一份职业规划.
进行利益清单 BUILD AWARENESS
建议学生与职业专家交谈,进行适当的兴趣评估. 每所学院的职业专家都经过培训,负责管理和向学生汇报职业评估. 完成利益评估预约, 学生将对他们喜欢的任务和工作环境有更丰富的看法, as well as, 有进一步探索的职业建议和进一步发展的针对性技能.
与专业人士联系 建立关系 BUILD AWARENESS
Often times students will have an idea of what a career entails but lack details and information that make it necessary to assess their own fit in relation to the profession. 建议学生与多个领域的工作人员交谈. 通过参加信息面试, 学生将对特定行业的工作性质有更深入的了解. 学生将具备所需技能的知识, experiences, 以及通往每个感兴趣的职业领域的潜在途径. The resulting “career clarity” can provide students with confirmation that a particular path may be right for them, 或者某个职业并不是他们最初想的那样. 这两种结果对学生尽早发现是有益的,也是重要的.
专业协会 建立关系 建立经验
Professional associations can be powerful resources for established professionals and students who have not yet entered the job market. 很多时候,加入的学生可以享受折扣和额外的好处. 学生不仅可以与该领域的专业人士建立联系, 但他们可以更深入地了解行业趋势, knowledge, 就业资源. Share the professional associations you belong to with students and encourage students to join associations that support their passions and interests.
参与体验式学习的机会 建立经验
对学生来说,评估一个职业是否适合的最好方法是获得实践经验. Students can do so by engaging in a variety of different experiential learning opportunities ranging from work experiences, internships, research, 留学的经历, 以及服务学习项目. Frequently students believe taking part in these high impact experiences only benefits students who have determined their career direction. However, 亲身探索一个行业是发现一个合适和理想的职业轨迹的最好方法之一.
明智地规划课程 BUILD AWARENESS 建立经验
鼓励学生在选课时要谨慎,尤其是新发现和选修课. 使用发现和选修课来探索主题对学生来说是有用的. In contrast, 有些学生把选修课留到学术生涯的后期, 当他们对毕业后的方向有了更清晰的认识. Both strategies can work to benefit the student depending on his or her circumstance and both require the student to make thoughtful choices when registering for classes.
Occasionally a student’s internal compass points him or her in multiple different directions and it becomes frustrating for the student to find his or her “true north.“前面提到的许多方法也可以用于这些学生, however, 还有其他需要注意的事项.
Career vs. Hobby
深刻的自我意识能让人了解自己的优势, skills, 以及寻找有意义、有成就感的职业的热情. 这可能会成为一些人的障碍,他们有不止一种激情,他们觉得必须追求. 帮助学生理解,仅仅因为他们对某件事有浓厚的兴趣, 并不意味着它必须成为他们职业生涯的中心. 人们可以通过爱好和志愿工作来追求自己的激情.
Change is Okay
Some students equate choosing a career path to answering an exam question; they are looking for the right answer. 在成绩优异的学生中尤其如此. 实际上,一个学生很可能有好几个“合适”的职业. 当前这一代的学生可能会有多种工作,甚至可能会改变行业. 对于学生来说,听到有可能换工作和转行是非常令人放心的. Additionally, helping students understand that an individual’s journey to their current position is more frequently a windy road rather than that a straight path can also ease a conflicted mind.
外部压力
学生们可以遵循好心的亲人或同龄人建议的道路. This external pressure can create an unnecessary burden on students by causing them to straddle between expectation and passion. 尽管学生最终需要选择他或她的道路, advisors can ask thoughtful questions to aid students in determining a future that makes the most sense for him or her.
为被推荐人提供积极的支持和鼓励当然是辅导员的一项重要任务. 然而,当一个学生有不切实际或不可能的职业抱负时,你该怎么办?
坚持事实
强调竞争力, 分享适用的统计数据,包括录取率和可接受的最低G.P.至于研究生院和专业学院. 提供对成功获得工作或研究生入学资格的前校友的见解.
建议备份计划
鼓励学生在他或她的计划没有实现的情况下考虑另一个选择. This could mean working towards increasing competitiveness by gaining additional skills and experiences in the desired field, 提高澳门葡京网赌游戏, 或者从事完全不同的职业.
向专业人士咨询
Career professionals can assist in providing students with information on targeted careers and specific industries. Career staff in the colleges will work individually with students to develop an appropriate and focused action-oriented plan.
引导转行学生
Students change their post-graduation plans for a multitude of reasons and react to these changes a variety of different ways. 作为顾问,当学生似乎“陷入困境”时,提供指导变得很有挑战性.” By understanding each student’s circumstances from a holistic standpoint and signifying support through active listening, 辅导员可以指导学生克服困难的过渡和障碍.
Once a student has shared a change in their initial path it is important to determine the catalyst and whether the student had control over the change.
可能的改变诱因:
Academic成绩是决定因素吗? (i.e.(平均绩点不足以进入研究生院)
Burnout当前的课程和/或其他责任可能会给你带来压力, 导致学生不再想继续目前的道路或继续教育(例如.e., 打算读研的学生, 但目前无意选修额外的课程).
Financial: The cost to continue one’s education and/or the potential resulting salary range can both be influential factors (i.e.(学生担心增加学生贷款债务的前景)
家人/朋友的压力家庭和同龄人会给学生施加压力,让他们选择或不选择特定的职业.e.(学生的父母说服学生改变专业或职业道路)
兴趣改变或发现随着学生通过课程学习和参与体验式学习的进步, 他们的兴趣可能会发生变化. 他们可能会发现新的激情,或者意识到他们对某些领域和话题不感兴趣.e.(一名学生在一家公司实习,并意识到工作的性质不适合他/她)
Medical个人或家庭健康问题可能导致学生重新评估或改变方向.
离群值的经验一个学生的经历可能并不能完全准确地代表他未来的职业生涯.
每个人对变化的反应不同,最好的方法是指导学生完成过渡, 了解变化对学生生活的影响是至关重要的.
Self-esteem对一些学生来说,改变人生轨迹被视为一种失败. Facing failures can be difficult for both high achieving students and students who have faced frequent adversities. 怀疑自己的能力可能是自我伤害, 适得其反, 而且往往是前进的障碍.
Relationships: Some students face opposition from family members and even friends when they decide to change their professional direction. 这会给人际关系带来不舒服的压力, 特别是对于那些从家庭成员那里获得经济支持的学生.
Academics除了作为一个可能的触发因素, 学业成绩的变化也可能是由于职业规划的改变而导致的. Students may become disengaged in coursework if they believe it’s pursuit is no longer relevant to their future profession. 此外,压力、自尊和动机也会影响学生的学业.
A student may or may not disclose their personal circumstances in life and there is no expectation for a student to do so. 然而,学生们确实经常与顾问分享他们的个人生活. 保持开放的心态,了解可能有外部因素在起作用, 培养热情, considerate, 信任的环境. 仅仅因为学生不愿透露个人情况, 但这并不意味着表面之下就没有别的东西了.
Home and Family有义务吗, pressure, stressors, 或者发生在学生家里的特殊情况?
Health:学生、家庭成员或与家庭关系密切的人是否有健康问题?
Finances学生或学生的家庭是否在努力维持收支平衡? 学生是否担心他们未来的经济状况?
Work: Does a student’s employment or need to maintain a steady income hinder their ability to engage in other activities that aid in competitiveness? (i.e.(无薪实习)
人际关系这个学生在社交方面有困难吗?
One of the most important ways to help a student who is faced with a change is to listen and gain a complete understanding of why they are changing paths. 学生们经常向他们的导师寻求安慰. 尽管你可能同意或不同意学生的决定, 你可以通过提供一个公正的观点来提供指导. 最有效的对话是不带评判的, 以前进的选项为中心, 并指导个人获得适当的资源和下一步行动.
提供的角度来看
鼓励学生从一个集中的观点退后一步,并检查下一步的多种可能性. If relevant, 分享一下你不得不做出艰难决定的个人故事, 遇到障碍, 或者找到你的激情.
Talk it Out
有时学生会爱上一个新想法,但还没有彻底评估这个想法. 问一些深思熟虑的问题,迫使学生审视他们提出的改变的现实. Student may not understand the steps needed to pursue the new profession or a clear understanding of the field and may require assistance in this area.
