Experts in career guidance have to realize the influence of social media (10th June 2015)
Researcher Jaana Kettunen's interview on NVL netjournal DialogWeb
By Torhild Slaatto
The use of technologies changes daily life, job life and also career guidance. Career practitioners have to realize that the locus of control is shifting from experts to a blend of expert and socially-constructed knowledge. Technology provides new opportunities for career practitioners, but it also creates a demand of new competence. Jaana Kettunen at Finnish Institute for Educational Research, University of Jyväskylä in Finland deals with these questions in her research. She shared some of her findings at the NVL guidance seminar “Guidance on a distance – Nordic challenges and solutions” in Oslo recently. DialogWeb got the opportunity to interview her.
