Websites and the Model

• There are sites that are helpful at all seven
  steps of the model.
• As with technology-based interventions in
  general, assistance is likely to be more
  effective when human support and technology are
  combined.

5
Role of Student/Client

• To be motivated to work at the career planning
  process
• To use the sites as assigned
• To apply data acquired from sites to personal
  decision making

6
Role of Counselor/Facilitator

• To determine whether student/client can profit
  from use of technology
• To attempt to remove barriers to engagement in
  the process
• To follow through with needed support
• To use other interventions if/when progress is
  not made

7
Rationale for a Brief Review of Hollands Theory

• Many of the sites we will review are based on
  Hollands theory or use it in some way.
• A Holland category by any name is still a Holland
  category!

Basic Tenets of Hollands Theory

• Each individual can be described as a combination
  of three or more types.
• Environments can be described as a combination of
  three or more types.
• Individuals seek environments which have the same

  longevity, and contribution.

Models of Use of Websites

• One-to-one, face-to-face counseling and the
  Internet
• Technology-enhanced Internet exchange
• Group approaches and the Internet
• Computer-based career planning systems and the
  Internet

75
One-to-One, Face-to-Face Counseling and the
Internet

• Student or client comes with problem.
• Counselor assesses needs and assigns specific
  parts of websites.
• Student or client returns to counselor with
  printout.
• Counselor assists student/client to process
  information.

76
Technology-Enhanced Internet Exchange
(Cybercounseling)

• Client accesses counselor via a website.
• Counselor has phone conversation(s) to assess
  needs of client and ability to profit.
• Counselor and client have e-mail or
  videoconferencing conversations.

77
Group Approaches and the Internet

• Groups of students meet in a room with multiple
  computers and Internet connection.
• A counselor may teach the career planning model.
• Over various sessions, students use the sites we
  have reviewed today.
• Use of these sites is discussed in a group or
  with follow-through interviews.

78
Computer-based Career Planning Systems and the
Internet

• Your organization uses one of the several
  computer-based systems - either on standalone
  machines or from the Internet.
• That system contains within itself a sequence of
  activities to assist career planning.
• At specific places, the system launches out to
  websites in order to expand information.

79
Summary

• All students need assistance with career
  planning.
• The most cost-effective way to provide that
  service is through a combination of technology
  and human support.
• Counselors one-on-one time can be saved to work
  with students who cannot profit from use of
  technology.
