Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Neste trabalho, problematizamos as práticas de escolha profissional dos jovens e suas articulações com o mundo do trabalho, a educação e os processos de produção de subjetividade na cena contemporânea. Adotamos o referencial teórico da Análise Institucional, as ferramentas conceituais de Foucault e a Filosofia da Diferença e, como ferramenta metodológica da Filosofia da Diferença, a Cartografia. Sendo esta puro processo, sem começo nem fim, cartografamos, de forma parcial e provisória, os caminhos em que vida e trabalho foram se constituindo nas práticas localizadas e cotidianas dos jovens. A Cartografia permitiu-nos acompanhar a invenção de um percurso de pesquisa ditado pelos deslocamentos e práticas de contágio com jovens, pesquisadora e pesquisa. A radicalidade da experiência foi tanta que afetou o próprio corpo da escrita, produzindo o reverso, um outro lado do texto. Com o conceito de prática de Foucault, seguimos a formação discursiva do conceito de vocação e as suas articulações com as transformações do capital e os efeitos da lógica do mercado na vida dos jovens na atualidade. Diante das intricadas articulações, passamos a questionar a escolha como uma possibilidade, já que esse tema adquire um lugar central nas investigações atuais, pois a máquina capitalista se reinventa na própria produção de desejo. Em outra vertente, analisamos as práticas educacionais que produzem o Homo Economicus e outras práticas inventivas que questionam e se reinventam na composição com um Homo Politicus, numa intervenção em que as escolhas seguem com o outro e não sobre o outro. Trabalhamos com as oficinas como dispositivos de pesquisa que nos permitiram seguir os múltiplos atravessamentos nos jovens e em seus processos de vida, primeiramente em um colégio de uma área semirrural do município de Petrópolis RJ, e depois em Lisboa, Portugal, numa escola secundária pública, numa organização de apoio a migrantes e numa ONG que trabalha com a cultura hip-hop. Esses caminhos nos levaram a um modo de orientação profissional como processo, ao deslocar de uma orientação responsiva, linear, que orienta para um lugar no mundo, para uma orientação intensiva, que acolhe as dúvidas e que se abre a multiplicidades de práticas inventivas com o outro. Uma aprendizagem que pede tempo e corpo e potencializa novos modos de fazer vida, quiçá mais dignos, interessantes e solidários. / In this work we discuss the practices of career choice for young people and their linkages with work, education and production of subjectivity processes, in contemporary society. The theoretical framework adopted includes Institutional Analysis, conceptual tools of Foucault and the Philosophy of Difference. The methodological tool of the Philosophy of Difference chosen was Cartography. Being Cartography pure process, without a beginning or an end, by way of it we determined the paths through which life and work were being constituted in localized and day-to- day practices of young people, yet in a partial and provisional form. Cartography helped to follow the invention of a course of investigation that was dictated by the shifts and mutual influence among youngsters, researcher and the research itself. The experience was radical to the point of affecting the writing itself, thus producing a reverse, another side of the text. With Foucaults concept of practice in hand, we followed the discursive formation of the concept of vocation and its links with the transformations of capital and the effects of market forces in the lives of todays youngsters. Given the intricate links, we began to question choice as a possibility, as it plays a central role in current investigations, since Capitalism reinvents itself in the production of desire. In another aspect, we analyze the educational practices that produce the Homo Economicus and other creative practices that may question and self-reinvent the composition with a Homo Politicus, in an intervention in which the choices may follow with the other and not over the other. We used workshops as research devices. They allowed us to follow the multiple crossings through young people and their life processes, first in a school of a semi-rural area in the city of Petrópolis - RJ, and then in Lisbon, Portugal, in a public high school, in an organization that supports migrants and in an NGO that works with the hip-hop culture. These paths led us to see professional guidance as a process, as we moved from a responsive, linear guidance, that points out to a given place in the world, to an intensive guidance, which hosts doubts and opens to a multiplicity of inventive practices with the other. A learning process that requires time and presence and enhances new ways of making life, perhaps more worthy, interesting and supportive.

The thesis aims at exploring what the role of career guidance services for CEMS students in their job search is, and at proposing a number of recommendations for further development of CEMS career services. First part of this thesis will provide us with a necessary theoretical background on career choice, career management and development, and career guidance. Then, CEMS and its current career services offer will be presented in brief. Finally, an analysis of a research that we have conducted within CEMS graduates community will enable us to formulate a number of recommendations for CEMS career services improvement.

A necessidade de ampliar a formação dos alunos de Engenharia visando também desenvolver novas competências não técnicas tem sido anunciada de forma enfática por vários segmentos da sociedade, como entidades de classe, órgãos governamentais, educadores, pesquisadores e pelos próprios egressos quando se deparam com o mercado de trabalho. Essa, contudo, não é uma missão trivial para as escolas de Engenharia basta comparar volume de declarações e apelos sobre a importância dessa missão com o volume de ações institucionais efetivas. Trata-se, na verdade, de um grande desafio que implica mudança de paradigma e do projeto pedagógico, conforme se pode observar nos diversos trabalhos apresentados em congressos de ensino de Engenharia. Tendo em vista esse contexto, esta tese tem como objeto de estudo uma atividade complementar que pode contribuir para o desenvolvimento de algumas das novas competências requeridas do engenheiro: o programa de Gestão de Carreira & Mentoring, desenvolvido, desde 2002, no âmbito da Escola Politécnica da Universidade de São Paulo como um serviço gratuito para formandos, egressos e novos docentes. Essa atividade complementar extracurricular serve de eixo a partir do qual se orienta e incentiva o aluno a refletir e agir em relação a questões como empregabilidade, autoconhecimento, desenvolvimento de competências, visão de futuro, projeto de carreira, alternativas de ocupações e educação continuada. Trabalho dessa natureza, pouco comum na grade curricular dos cursos de Engenharia no Brasil, pode contribuir significativamente para a formação do engenheiro com o perfil demandado pelas várias instâncias da sociedade, inclusive o mercado de trabalho. Para tal, a presente tese apresenta três estudos de casos com experimentos educacionais concernentes à referida atividade complementar e visa responder à seguinte pergunta de pesquisa: Que fatores impactam a eficácia de aprendizagem de atividades complementares desenvolvidas para preparar os alunos de engenharia para uma transição satisfatória para o mundo profissional?. Partindo de uma investigação teórica pautada nas teorias da Orientação Profissional e outras correntes teóricas e em uma análise qualitativa desses estudos de casos, identificaram-se três grupos de fatores, quais sejam: (1) fatores identificados empiricamente a partir dos estudos de casos; (2) Fatores teóricos baseados nas teorias da Orientação Profissional e (3) fatores teóricos baseados nas outras referências teóricas. Este estudo oferece às escolas de Engenharia um conjunto de conceitos, técnicas, processos e lições aprendidas que podem servir de referência para a incorporação dessas atividades, de forma transversal, em disciplinas afins (e.g. Introdução à Engenharia e Estágios). / Comprehensive engineering education aiming at the development of soft competences has been called for by several sections of society, including professional boards, governmental bodies, educators, researchers and newly graduated professionals facing unexpected work market demands. Most schools of engineering, however, have not managed to deliver on this mission, as we can easily see by comparing the number calls for this mission with the number of effective institutional actions. This is in fact a great challenge that implies paradigm change and development of a new pedagogical project, as reported in several talks in engineering education congresses. Against this background, this dissertation investigates an extracurricular activity that can contribute to the development of some of the new competences required of engineers nowadays: The Career Management & Mentoring program developed since 2002 as a free service provided by Escola Politécnica (University of São Paulo) to senior students, newly graduated engineers and new professors. This extracurricular activity focuses on guiding and encouraging the students to reflect on and take attitude about such issues as employability, self-knowledge, competence development, vision of future, career project, job alternatives, and continued education. This sort of activity, still unusual in the engineering syllabuses in Brazil, can contribute significantly to the development of engineers with the profile required by several sections of society, including the job market. More specifically, this dissertation reports on three case studies involving educational experiments drawing on the above mentioned extracurricular activity and aims to answer the following research question: Which factors impact on the learning efficacy of extracurricular activities designed to prepare engineering students for a satisfactory transition from college to the professional world? Drawing on professional orientation theories and other related theoretical underpinnings as well as on a qualitative analysis of the three case studies, this study identifies several factors impacting on learning efficacy, herein gathered in the categories students, service structure, supporters, and environment. This thesis provides schools of engineering with a number of concepts, techniques, processes and learnt lessons that serve as reference for transversally introducing activities of this nature in related disciplines such as Introduction to Engineering, and Curricular Internship.

<p>Undersökningen syftar till att belysa hur en individ i en rehabiliteringsprocess kan gynnas av karriärvägledning. Forskningsfrågorna som ställts har gällt vilket inslag av karriärvägledning som ingår i den aktuella stressrehabiliteringen, vilka behov som av karriärvägledning som finns samt vilken funktion karriärvägledning kan fylla inom en arbetslivsinriktad stressrehabiliteringsverksamhet. För undersökningen valdes en kvalitativ forskningsmetod med forskningsfrågorna som grund. Resultatet av de öppna intervjufrågorna visade att det inte gavs karriärvägledning av någon anställd person inom stressrehabiliteringen, men att det var något som önskades. Inslag av karrärvägledning gavs begränsat av Arbetsförmedlingen och resultaten visade att det fanns behov av karriärvägledning samt att vägledning kan fylla en funktion inom arbetslivsinriktad stressrehabilitering. Antagandet att karriärvägledning inte fanns representerad inom den valda stressrehabiliteringsverksamheten, att det fanns behov av sådan samt att karriärvägledning kan fylla en funktion visade sig stämma.</p> / <p>The survey aims to highlight how an individual in a rehabilitation process can benefit from career guidance. Research questions have been raised as part of career guidance at the current stress rehabilitation, the needs of career guidance available, and what function career guidance can play in vocational stress rehabilitation work. For the research one qualitative research method was choosen with the research questions as a base. The result of the open interview questions revealed that there were no career guidance available in form of any person employed in the stress rehabilitation, but that it was preferred. Elements of career guidance was limited by Employment Service and the results showed that there is a need for career guidance and that guidance can play a role in vocational stress rehabilitation . The assumption that career guidance was not represented in the chosen stress rehabilitation activities, the existence of such needs and that vocational career guidance can play a role turned out to be true.</p>

Syftet med vår uppsats är att undersöka om de gotländska studie- och yrkesvägledarna arbetar med genus-, klass- och etnicitetsfrågor. Vi vill ta reda på vilka metoder som används och om något samarbete sker runt dessa frågor. Utöver detta är vi intresserade av att ta reda på om verksamhetscheferna tar ansvar för detta uppdrag och formulerar hur man har tänkt sig att arbetet skall gå till. Intresset har väckts under vår tid på studie- och vägledarutbildningen i Stockholm och främst som ett resultat av vår B-uppsats, då vi granskade vilken kunskap rektorerna hade om studie- och yrkesvägledarnas kompetens och i vilken mån studie- och yrkesvägledning hade tagits upp i rektorsutbildningen. Vi fann att rektorerna hade mycket liten kunskap om vägledning och att rektorsutbildningen inte hade berört detta område alls. Vi har sänt ut postenkäter till 24 vägledare, verksamma inom grundskolan, gymnasieskolan, särskolan, komvux, folkhögskolan, högskolan och arbetsförmedlingen. Även friskolorna har tillsänts enkäter. 16 vägledare har svarat. Det resultat vi har fått fram visar att en majoritet av vägledarna inte har uppfattat att de har fått ett uppdrag att arbeta med genus-, klass- och etnicitetsfrågor. Trots detta är det en del vägledare som arbetar med detta, i individuella samtal och vid gruppvägledning. Genusfrågor är det område som flest arbetar med, därefter kommer klassfrågor och då det gäller etnicitetsfrågor är det endast en vägledare som har arbetat med detta under det senaste året. Inget samarbete sker vägledare emellan, men i vissa fall med övrig personal. Uppsatsen visar att vägledarna sannolikt behöver ett formulerat uppdrag av sina chefer för att arbetet skall initieras, men också att fortbildningsinsatser krävs för att kunna utföra uppdraget. Vi anser att det är ett angeläget uppdrag, som om det uteblir får till följd att människor begränsas i sina studie- och yrkesval på grund av genus, klass och etnicitet. Om inte vägledarna arbetar med detta, vem är det då som tänder stjärnorna? / The purpose of this essay is to examine whether or not career guidance counselors in Gotland work with consideration to gender, class and ethnicity.  We wish to find out which methods are employed and whether or not there is any collaboration among counselors concerning these issues. As well, we are interested in finding out if the directors take responsibility for these tasks and have a framework for how the work is to be executed. Interest has been raised during our guidance counselor education and particularly as a result of our B-essay in which we examined the level of knowledge principals had concerning the competence of guidance counselors and to which extent guidance counseling had been a part of the principal's education. We found that the principals had very little knowledge of guidance counseling and that their education had not even touched on the subject.  We have sent questionnaires to 24 guidance counselors working in comprehensive schools, upper secondary schools, schools for handicapped children, adult education schools, university and the employment office.  Even independent schools received questionnaires. 16 guidance counselors have responded.  Our results show that a majority of the counselors have not comprehended that their task includes working with questions of gender, class and ethnicity. In spite of this, there are a number of counselors who work with these issues, in individual conversations and in group discussions. Gender issues are most frequently taken up followed by class issues. During the past year there was only one counselor who had worked with questions of ethnicity.  There occurred no collaboration between counsellors. However, in certain cases, there was collaboration with other staff members. The essay shows that counselors likely require a framework from their directors in order for this process to get under way but that continued education is required in order to follow through with this task. We consider this a mission of urgency, the lack of which will result in students being limited in their choice of study and vocation as a result of gender, class and ethnicity. If guidance counselors don't work with these issues then who will light the stars?

The focus of this project is on the quality and relevance of Vocational Counselling programme in Nigerian schools. It analyses the discipline’s training syllabuses in Universities and the extent and manner of its application in secondary schools by graduates in the field and proffers suggestions on how to improve upon both the training and the practice. As a professional field of study, Guidance and Counselling was first introduced at the University of Ibadan, in the 1980s. Within a few years, the Universities of Benin and Lagos also commenced a programme in the discipline. However, and as I have discovered, the products of the programme have really not achieved much impacts in Nigerian secondary schools almost thirty years after it was first introduced. As at today, most secondary schools still do not have professional career counselors. Where they exist, they are not always very competent, and are not often consulted by pupils while selecting their subject combinations. In the Universities, Guidance and Counselling syllabus are found to be outdated. Two major approaches were adopted in carrying out this research. The first method is empirical and was executed through field research. I visited the Universities of Ibadan, Ife and Lagos – all in Nigeria - to conduct interviews with students and lecturers of Guidance and Counselling in the Universities. I also collected documents like manuals, handbooks and course outlines issued by personnels in the Departments. I also visited, conducted interviews with, and served questionnaires on, professional counselors in a selection of public and private secondary schools in Nigeria. At the end of the field work, the documents, questionnaires and interviews were analysed and what I identified as the strengths and weaknesses of Guidance and Counselling programmes in Nigerian Universities were laid out. The second approach adopted in this study has to do with analysis of scientific publications in the field. Books, journals, manuals and even electronic publications by Guidance and Counselling experts in Germany, Europe and other places were assembled and carefully studied. In the end, what constitutes minimum competence requirements were underlined. Applied to the data earlier collected in the field, my conclusion is that the various Guidance and Counselling programmes in Nigeria need to be improved upon II and/updated and that its importance in secondary education needs to be further stressed. To improve the programme, I suggested, among others, the need for Nigerian Universities to actively work toward the development of collaborative and exchange programmes with institutions in Europe and other parts of the world.

Studie- och yrkesvägledning i lägre åldrar har blivit ett allt mer aktuellt ämne på senare tid. Ämnet utgör grunden för denna studie, som syftar till att visa små barns egna perspektiv när det gäller deras upplevelse av karriär. Studien består av tio intervjuer med barn i 4-6 års ålder och resultatet visar att barnen har stor medvetenhet när det gäller karriär. Barnen kan berätta om vad ett arbete är, hur man får ett jobb, vilka som arbetar m.m., vilket analyseras utifrån begreppen self-concept, circumscription och images of occupations samt utifrån tidigare forskning. Några slutsatser som dras är att barnen till övervägande del kopplar arbete till föräldrarna, att de inte ser några begränsningar vad gäller könsroller samt att alla barnen anger realistiska yrkesaspirationer. / Career guidance and counselling at younger age has become an increasingly current topic lately. This forms the basis for this study, which aims to show small children‟s perspectives regarding the concept of career. The study consists of ten interviews with children 4-6 years of age, and the results show that the children have a great awareness of the concept of career. The children can describe what a job is, how to get a job, who is working, etc., which are analyzed from the concepts of self-concept, circumscription and images of occupations and based on previous research. Some conclusions drawn are that the children predominantly connects work to the parents, they do not see any limitations in terms of gender roles and all the children seem to have realistic work aspirations.
