Webinar: Delivering Distance Career Services
Webinar: Delivering Distance Career Services
Tuesday, May 4, 2021
12:00 Noon to 1:00 PM
Description: In the wake of COVID-19, delivering career services via technology is a rapidly growing practice, although distance career counseling is not new. Practitioners may lack distance services knowledge, training, and confidence. Attendees will learn key elements from distance literature and ethical codes and engage in a reflective exercise on their personal readiness to provide distance services.
Objectives: At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to:
• Understand the breadth of distance services and recognize that distance service delivery expands beyond mental health and clinical counseling settings.
• Understand the professional literature that is relevant to the practice of distance career services, including relevant ethical codes from NCDA and professional organizations.
• Identify the risks and opportunities that delivering distance career services poses for both the practitioner and the consumer.
• Engage in self-reflective activities to facilitate a carefully weighted decision to purse engagement in distance career services.
