| مستخلص: | In career guidance, advocacy and self-advocacy encompass a continuum from adviser action separately on behalf of a client, through shared activity, to action by the client alone. Wherever individual clients fall on the continuum, advocacy can be conducted in a manner that empowers them. Modeling is an important aspect of the process of empowerment across the advocacy/self-advocacy continuum. Career advisors can be active in ways that provide models clients can adopt. The national standards underpinning Britain's National Vocational Qualifications for guidance contain a five-stage model for advocacy: (1) explaining advocacy and agreeing that it is appropriate; (2) considering the client's options and agreeing which one to pursue; (3) preparing information and approaches, including contingencies for responses; (4) conducting advocacy in line with the client's wishes and preferences; and (5) ensuring understanding of and commitment to the outcomes of advocacy. According to a study of career services in England, career counselors are using advocacy as follows: address client's internal problems and external problems; partner with other agencies to help surmount barriers facing clients; help clients develop self-advocacy skills; and develop one-on-one mentoring relationships. Advocacy training for career counselors should focus on development of negotiating, motivational interviewing, and mentoring skills. (MN) |
