The Role of Practitioners in Helping Persons Make Effective Use of Information and Communication Technology in Career Interventions
Sampson, James P.; Kettunen, Jaana; Vuorinen, Raimo
International Journal for Educational and Vocational Guidance, v20 n1 p191-208 Apr 2020
We examine the role of counselors and other practitioners in delivering career interventions using Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Current benefits and limitations of ICT use provide the basis for recommendations. Potential benefits of increased ICT engagement include cost-effectiveness and improved access to resources and support. Potential limitations include poor assessment and information quality, limited practitioner support when needed, problems with distance intervention and social media, confidentiality of client records, inequality of access, inadequate competencies, and poor implementation. Specific practitioner roles are identified, and those related to social media are elaborated. Implications for theory, research, training, and policy are provided.
