Culturally Appropriate Career Counselling Model (CACCM) - a collaborative pilot including Finnish and Irish career guidance counsellors
Researchers in the area of career guidance from Finland and Ireland were interested in trialling the Culturally Appropriate Career Counselling Model (CACCM) within their respective countries. Both were involved in research involving migrants and were interested in examining cultural context's impact on career counselling outcomes.
CACCM was originally developed by Fouad and Bingham in 1995 (Fouad & Bingham, 1995). In 2006, Byars-Winston and Fouad elaborated on the model (Byars-Winston & Fouad, 2006). They made the point that context-sensitive career counselling needs constant attention not just with regard to the client’s cultural context but also to the counsellors. They suggested expanding the model to include metacognitive processes to aid guidance counsellors when working with clients from diverse background
The model uses three processes to aid the counsellor in metacognitive skill development:
- Planning, developing a plan to work with the client
- Implementation, implementing the plan with regular self-monitoring
- Evaluation of the effectiveness of the plan
Dr. Miika Kekki and Rosarii Molloy-Curran will share their work on the pilot so far at a
webinar on Thursday 23rd January 10.30 to 11.30 Irish Standard Time.
