Share |
Vocational Profiling and Action Planning is a critical stage within the Supported Employment model. Far more than a form-filling exercise, it is a values-driven process that ensures individuals are supported into the right career pathways. By working collaboratively with jobseekers to gather in-depth, meaningful information, practitioners can tailor support that reflects each person’s strengths, interests, aspirations, and needs—laying the foundation for inclusive and sustainable employment.
Who is this training for?
This course is ideal for front-line professionals working directly with individuals, particularly those in job coaching roles across a range of Supported Employment programmes, including:
