CAREER GUIDANCE ACTIVITY AND DIGITAL STORYTELLING

Abstract

Career counselors are now increasingly important in Italy due to the uncertainties related to the labor market today. This professional figure is capable of building  a pathway of self-knowledge and insertion in the social, economic and cultural context of reference, together with the person concerned. 

In recent years, storytelling is acquiring new ground within both training and guidance. Stories can be used to activate both individual and group discussion and reflection in relation to certain strategic dimensions of orientation. Finally, storytelling can increase youth empowerment and enhance certain strategic dimensions such as decision-making self-efficacy, particularly using new information and communication technologies through digital storytelling.
