Vous naviguez dans l’orientation professionnelle virtuelle. Comment maintenez-vous l’engagement et le contact des clients ?

Some ways to get started are: 1. Having meetings which are either in-person or video-based to give the personal touch in the conversations one holds with the clients. 2. Being an empathetic listener is imperative and with it comes in need providing constructive feedback wherein STAR approach can be used. 3. While it's important to be specific, remember as a Career Counsellor you meet the individual needs and preferences. 4. Celebrate their milestones, keep them involved and motivated through the journey. It helps a great deal when the trust has been built.

In my virtual counseling sessions, I’ve found that using interactive tools can transform the experience into something truly engaging and collaborative. I love incorporating shared documents and digital whiteboards because they allow us to brainstorm and plan together in real-time. This hands-on approach makes the process more dynamic and helps my clients feel actively involved. I often set tasks for them to complete during our sessions, like mapping out career goals or drafting action plans. This not only keeps them engaged but also empowers them to take ownership of their career journey. Seeing my clients become more invested and proactive in their development is incredibly rewarding.

In my experience, as a Career Counsellor: 1. Weekly Check-in's must be scheduled as the counselling journey begins. It helps to be abreast with the progress during the journey. 2. Deep dive into the progress, achievements, areas of concerns, Milestones celebration etc. 3. It's imperative to consistently communicate with the student and the parents so that everyone is on the same wavelength. 4. Remember in a physical face to face meeting it's easier to get to understand gestures however it works differently when there's a virtual set up.

Stable online platforms, computer equipment, digital competence and confidence for client and registered career development professional or certified career counselor are all elements that facilitate engagement, while supporting ethical and professional practice. Three ways to enhance (or continue to practice ;-), include: 1. Look into the camera rather than at the screen. It might feel a bit odd but persevere - it gets easier with practice. 2. Use non-verbal gestures a little more to let the client know that you are present and actively listening. 3. Check in a little more frequently. And, be mindful of the time and build in the transition needed at the start and end of a virtual session. Enjoy!

To keep clients engaged and connected in virtual career counseling, employ a mix of interactive tools and personalized approaches. Utilize video calls for face-to-face interaction, interactive whiteboards, and career assessment tools. Regularly check in via email or messaging apps, and provide tailored resources like articles, job postings, and training opportunities. Encourage active participation through goal-setting exercises, virtual workshops, and Q&A sessions. Maintain a supportive and approachable demeanor to foster trust and openness.
