Offering Statewide Career Guidance in Career and Technical Education

 

Delivering career development to over 2000 school counselors and 550 career specialists can be a great challenge.  Carolina Careers was developed by the South Carolina Department of Education in 2000 to provide educators with a cost-efficient, timely, and consistent source of career guidance resources and professional development.  The program features a host, Dr. Ray Davis of the Office of Career and Technology Education and invited guests, speakers, and presenters addressing such topics as career assessments, college and career readiness, professional readings relevant to K-12 educators, state and national job outlook, career guidance lesson plans and best practices, counseling techniques, labor market information, ethical issues, and career and technology education.  The content is designed to support South Carolina Comprehensive Developmental Guidance and Counseling Program Model which is correlated with the ASCA Standards and the NCDA Career Development Guidelines.

About Carolina Careers Program

 

Carolina Careers programs are designed to provide both live and streamed professional development for K-12 educators around three themes:  career awareness (grades K-5), career exploration (grades 6-8), and career preparation (grades 9-12).  In addition, these workshops are used in classroom guidance to assist students in their personal career development.  Educators also use the streamed version of Carolina Careers to provide parents of students an updated understanding of today’s global workforce.  Each episode of Carolina Careers is streamed on the website Career Aisle to provide stakeholders access to these resources on a “just-in-time” and “24/7” basis.

Introduction

 

Seven years ago, as Professional Development Chair of the National Career Development Association, I conducted, with members of the PD Committee, a survey of members' perceived needs.  NCDA members wanted distance delivery of professional development.

 

Ray Davis, today's speaker, became NCDA  Professional Development Chair the next year.  He not only brought to NCDA's attention the importance of distance delivery as a form of professional education and training, but also filled this need in the South Carolina Comprehensive Developmental Guidance and Counseling Program Model, which is correlated with the ASCA Standards and the NCDA Career Development Guidelines.

 

As Education Associate in South Carolina's Office of Career and Technology Education, Ray has invited guests, speakers, and presenters addressing such topics as career assessments, college and career readiness, professional readings relevant to K-12 educators, state and national job outlook, career guidance lesson plans and best practices, counseling techniques, labor market information, ethical issues, and career and technology education. His accomplishments in this Office are amazing, as you will learn from this interview.

 

Now, for the first time, I am pleased to share this state's wealth of career educational information with career professionals around the world. Welcome Ray!

 

I'd also like to welcome the British Columbia Career Development Association, Careerwell's newest organizational subscriber.  Listeners, if you haven't already done so, please download Ray's presentation in PDF format, so you can follow along with the interview.
