October 17, 2024, 3:15-6pm (CEST) | 4th ESVDC Webinar – ADDRESSING DIGNIFIED WORK IN CAREER GUIDANCE AND COUNSELING The notion of dignity, broadly defined as “our inherent value and worth” (Hicks, 2018), is increasingly referred to as a purpose of career guidance and counseling (CGC). Intuitively, promoting dignity in and at work (Bolton, 2007) suggests more ambitious goals than simply providing access to decent work. The idea underlying the promotion of dignified work is that, in addition to decent working conditions, people can also aspire to access meaningful work (Blustein et al., 2023). While appealing and underpinning noble intentions, this concept remains poorly circumscribed and operationalized in our field. Yet, to truly promote dignified work, it is essential to clearly define what it is, how to address it, and what its components and characteristics are. | |

October 19, 2023, 3:15 – 5:50 p.m. (CEST) | 3rd ESVDC Webinar – ADVOCACY IN CAREER GUIDANCE AND COUNSELING: International perspectives The 2023 ESVDC webinar aims to further pursue the critical, transnational, and comparative perspectives that characterized its first and second webinars. Vocational psychologists and career counselors are increasingly considered key players in promoting social inclusion, with advocacy counseling emerging as an appropriate intervention approach to support clients struggling with systemic barriers. However, both research findings and the experiences of advocacy-oriented career guidance and counseling (CGC) remain rather fragmented. The 2023 ESVDC webinar will seek to broaden the understanding of what CGC research states about advocacy counseling, as well as to pave the way for operational and effective advocacy interventions in the career field.

September 29, 2022 | 2nd ESVDC Webinar – Career Guidance and Counseling and Migration Challenges: The Point of View of International ScholarsThe ESVDC is more than ever trying to promote and advocate for a more human needs approach to career guidance and counseling. One of the most important contemporary and future challenges is inequality. Poverty and conflicts, linked with global/local relation to the world, lead to migration. This second seminar will then focus on how countries deal with migration challenges, from the point of view of vocational designing and career counseling. | |
