Sachin Kumar & Gideon ArulmaniEnglish / Scientific PaperCapacity Building for Career Counselling and Livelihood Planning Services:Development of a degree course for the developing world contextAbstractWhile a number of policy pronouncements in the recent past have advocated emphatically for theprovision of career services for Indian young people, none of the documents reviewed seem to havespared a thought to the preparation of trained professionals to deliver these services. There have,however, been some sporadic but significant initiatives that have been taken up for capacity building.This paper attempts to report one such initiative undertaken by The Promise Foundation in partnershipwith the Martin Luther Christian University in the form of an M.Phil Programme in Career Counsellingand Livelihood Planning. After a brief review of the current status of career counselling training inIndia, the paper presents the rationale for such an M Phil course in the Indian context.

The course’s key characteristics namely itsevolutionary nature, its competency based approach, its experiential methodology and its focus onresource generation are discussed. The course comprised 8 papers with varying emphasis on theoryand skill. It included papers on Career Psychology, General Psychology and Career Development,Labour Market and Career Development, Research Methods and Psychological Testing, Sociology ofWork, Skills for Career Counselling, Skills for Career Information Management and ReflectiveProfessional Development. This presentation will provide an outline of each theoretical and practicalpaper in terms of content, method and key characteristics.
