Referral policy and procedure – its vital to be clear about your service offering and where it starts and ends and to also effectively communicate that to your clients.
Key sources of literature (eg. Savickas) provided examples of activities or counselling situations and tools to use in those situations – practical application of constructivist theory.
Structure of the questions led to a ‘top-down’ overview of implementing a career development/ education program
