Imaging Futuristic Career Guidance Goals.

This module is directed toward guidance personnel in school (k-adult) and agency settings such as counselors, teachers, students and administrators. It is also designed for students in pre-service education programs who are familiar with career development theories and information. The Module assumes that the participant is not familiar with the area of futurism. It provides an orientation to futuristic data, and help in using these data to develop career guidance goals. The Module defines short-term, middle-term, and long-term futures, and presents a model of the Future-Conscious Career Planner. It then offers practice in using the model to derive career guidance goals, developing skills related to future imaging, selecting a preferred personal future, and future adapting. It emphasizes future trends data related to work/leisure, education and life styles. Definitions, objectives, activities and evaluative methods are clearly presented. The Module is one of a series, and is accompanied by a Coordinator's Guide. (Author/BP)
