For Mature Aged

Career guidance can help adults to navigate a changing world of work. Career guidance is generally perceived for young people in schools, who are about to transit either into higher levels of education or into the labour market. But given the changing demand for skills as a result of technological change, globalisation and green transitions, career guidance is just as important for adults as it is for young people.

Career planning looks at the whole person, throughout the whole lifespan. At a time when 60-year-olds run marathons and start new businesses, many people are re-examining their beliefs about career development.

The world of work is changing. Rapid changes are having a profound impact on the type and quality of jobs that are available and the skills required to perform them. The extent to which individuals can reap the benefits of these changes will depend critically on the ability of individuals to maintain and acquire relevant skills and adapt to a changing labour market over their working careers.

The COVID-19 pandemic has further underscored the importance of career guidance services as many adults have lost their jobs and require assistance identifying suitable career options in a labour market that has changed profoundly. The pandemic has had an impact on both the supply and demand for skills.

These conditions sometimes force the matured aged to Pivot roles or industries, expand skills for advancement, find ways to boost earning potential, increase work fulfillment, overcome feeling of being stuck or reinvent professionally. What ever the case may be.

The most frequently reported reasons for seeking career guidance are to receive help looking for jobs (32%) and to learn about education and training options (25%).

Of those adults who do not use career guidance services, most do not feel they need to (57%). The rest (43%) report a range of barriers: 20% did not know services existed; 11% did not have time (for work, family or childcare reasons); 4% found the service too costly; 3% did not find a career guidance advisor; 2% deemed the service of poor quality; and 2% thought the service was delivered at an inconvenient time or place. I am here for the the rest 43%. Book a phone call and you will have the answers.

In addition to speaking with a career guidance advisor, adults make use of other means to access information on job and training options. Some 69% of adults look for information online. Not all information available over the web is reliable and up-to-date. A similar share (67%) relies at least to some degree on the advice of family members and friends. Chances are they may not be able to provide unbiased advice. Some 57% of adults engage in career development activities (e.g., discussions with human resources professionals at work, visits to a job fair or a training provider). This approach is good, why not also take the help of professional, who can be unbiased, will have reliable and up-to-date information about what's happing in the world of work.
