By Jeremiah Wong

Recorded June 15, 2023

The importance of clinical supervision or career practitioner supervision cannot be understated. Especially in the next decade of tumultuous growth and intensified VUCA world of work. As career life becomes ever more complex from an intra-personal and person and environmental perspective – therefore, we need sound, quality, founded and ethical supervision in career services delivery, career services design, practice standards and policy, coupled with personalized continuing development for every career development practitioner.

Despite its importance, clinical supervision or career practitioner supervision are often not prioritized or known by public or private career development organizations, possibly due to:

1. Low awareness or misunderstanding of about career practitioner supervision

2. Lack of qualified and competent career practitioner supervisors

3. Emphasis on practitioner outcomes versus practice efficacy & growth

4. Lack of enthusiasm from CDPs to receive practice supervision

In this webinar, we want to draw attention to this matter, to create awareness, dispel myths, and articulate the benefits of career practitioner supervision. To do so, we will showcase content related to:

1. Introduction to 4 roles and functions of clinical supervisors

2. 7 approaches that Career Development Practice Supervisors can use such as: Practice-to-Theory & Theory-to-Practice approach in Supervision of Career Development & Counselling/Coaching Models, Career Case Conceptualization, Ethical Considerations in Practice, Assessments in Supervision
