Career Development
Comparative Analysis of Self-Directed, Counselor-Guided and Group-Supported Activities
In the course of one's life as a working individual, opportunities for continuing education and learning are only possible through two (2) forms: on-the-job training (i.e., work experience) and formal trainings for a specific time period. This means that further education for working individuals is almost always limited to company-sponsored trainings/workshops and self-initiated learning, both of which takes time and financial resources for the company and the individual, respectively. However, it is critical to continue the pursuit for further education or learning, as this will significantly influence one's career development in years to come. A competency learned today could be the most sought-after skill the next day, leading to greater and more opportunities for the individual trained or self-taught specifically for this special or new skill.
Continued education/learning as the path towards progressive career development can be approached in different ways. Career development could be accelerated through self-directed, counselor-guided, or group-supported activities, all of which also aim to not only promote learning, but also discipline, increased support for the individual's learning endeavors, and renewed confidence in one's ability to learn new knowledge and information and strengthen one's skills by applying these newly-acquired knowledge about the topic/subject. The following...
The self-guided approach is best characterized as 'learning at your own pace and style,' and this is more suitable to individuals who are only able to learn at different, non-routine schedules and according to his/her "learning preferences." At best, learning activities using this approach are customized to suit the learner's requirements and needs. Unlike other learning approaches, self-guided activities are not accomplished within a strict time period, which means learners can finish a course or module at a very slow, very fast, or 'just right' pace.
At the opposite end of the spectrum is the counselor-guided approach to learning, which includes not only modules to follow, but also facilitator(s) who will help the learner in understanding and learning beyond the module content. Self-guided activities have collateral materials that are thoroughly developed by professionals, which is the same for the counselor- guided (or facilitator-guided) approach. However, it has been reiterated in counselor-guided programs that because activities and programs are continuously developed as learning innovations and new schools of thought are incorporated…

Career Counseling Theory statement used to review the case and the accompanying selection rationale Career development is a continuous, ongoing process throughout one's life. It is shaped by the experiences that one acquires through the interactions one encounters. These developmental experiences focus on gaining and processing information regarding the self and occupational or even educational processes (Hansen, 1976). The process allows people to understand themselves in the course of relating to the
Student Affairs as Both A Field of Study and a Profession What is Student Affairs?

The assumption here is that counselor burnout may be heightened as a result of the diversity of students who attend post secondary educational institutions, and the variety of services the 2-year postsecondary counselors must provide to these students. This assumption is congruent with the findings of a study by Wilkerson and Bellini (2006) who advise, "Professional school counselors are asked to perform multiple duties as part of their daily
