1 Know the standards

One of the first steps to developing your career and professional identity as a career counselor in Europe is to familiarize yourself with the standards and guidelines that regulate the profession. The European Association for Career Guidance (EACG) is the main umbrella organization that promotes quality and ethics in career counseling across Europe. The EACG has developed frameworks that define the core competencies and learning outcomes for career counselors. These can help you assess your current level of competence, identify your learning needs, and plan your professional development.

In the UK, the Career Development Institute (CDI) is the professional body for career counselors (more commonly referred to as 'career development practitioners' or 'careers advisers'). Members must have achieved a recognised level six (Bachelor's degree level) qualification in career development and abide by a strict code of professional ethics. For more information, and to find a career development professional registered with the CDI, visit: https://www.thecdi.net/

2 Choose your specialization

Another important aspect of developing your career and professional identity as a career counselor in Europe is to choose your specialization and target group. Career counseling is a broad field that encompasses different settings, populations, and methods. You may want to focus on a specific sector, such as education, employment, or social inclusion, or on a specific group, such as students, adults, migrants, or people with disabilities. You may also want to develop your expertise in a particular approach, such as narrative, solution-focused, or online counseling. Choosing your specialization can help you define your niche, refine your skills, and communicate your value proposition.

Die Spezialisierung ist absolut wichtig. Denn umso genauer ich meine Zielgruppe abholen und zum Erfolg bringen kann, umso eher werde ich gebucht und sind alle zufrieden. Da ich als ehemalige Personalleiterin mich mit vielen Themen besch?ftigt habe, die für die Karriere sinnvoll sind, habe ich überlegt, was ich besonders gut kann; was mich von Anfang begleitet hat und bei dem ich selber die gr??te Erfahrung habe. Deshalb biete ich Karriereberatung im Rahmen eines Newplacements speziell für Expert*innen ü50 an. Diese unterschiedlichen Level kenne ich sehr gut. Kenne die Anforderungen daran und wie man damit umgehen kann. All das lasse ich in die Beratung einflie?en.

I believe career professionals need to take a global perspective and develop global networks: we are all affected by what happens all over the world, not just in Europe. One organisation that has helped me do just that is Career Thought Leaders.

Don't think that lifelong learning has to involve sitting down for hours and consuming content - though you might want to if you find a really absorbing book or podcast! Make use of the fact you probably have a note app on your phone to jot down ideas from any small snippet of something you see or hear about, or take a photo and email it to yourself to explore further later. Maybe your commute, morning run, or coffee break can act as brief moments of discover that act as the start of a longer lifelong learning journey.

Lifeline learning is the key to professional development - to learn the newest methodology, the labour market tendencies, the impact of AI and technologies to career choice, necessary skills, etc. Being up-to-date is crucial in career counseling.
