Overview

The course in Career Guidance and Leadership at Nottingham Trent University will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of careers guidance, education and leadership, and enable you to develop a critical awareness of current developments, contemporary debates and insights in the discipline and sector. You'll acquire professional skills for practice and apply theory to practice in a range of professional contexts. You'll learn about national and international theoretical perspectives and concepts relating to career guidance and career development, employability, career-related learning, management and leadership, and their applications for practice.

Upon completion, you'll be able to reflect upon your practice and performance and identify continuing professional development and personal development needs – ensuring that you can adapt and respond to the contextual needs of clients, employers and the sector.

Careers and employability

The course will equip you with the knowledge, skills and attributes that are highly sought after by employers in the career development and employability sector. As such, careers and employability are core themes throughout the course – not only will you have acquired the skills necessary for professional practice within the sector, but you’ll be able to apply the insights to yourself in order to assist you in managing your own career and employability.

Through our close links with the sector, the professional body and our own employability team at NTU, you will have the opportunity to learn from others from within the sector and to network with employers and practitioners.

The course will enable you to develop your own career in a sector that is flexible, varied and rewarding. It will enable you to work with a range of clients – from young people, students, adults, career changers and those seeking to (re)enter the labour market – and in a range of settings, including secondary, further and higher education, private and third sector organisations, as well as self-employment.
