Heeft beroepskeuzevoorlichting zin? Naar een strategie van participerend leren

Abstract

To be adequately qualified for the knowledge society, individuals must be competent - besides having enough occupational knowledge and space to practice this knowledge on the shop floor - to steer themselves in a labour market that is characterized by boundaryless careers. In this contribution it is argued that traditional careers education and guidance, work placements and part-time work are insufficient to acquire this competency. Acquiring a career identity only seems possible within the context of participatory learning that addresses the learner as a knowledge constructor and at the same time as a moral human being. An outline of such a learning process is given and the role of education in trade and industry is discussed.
