Course content

Career and life-course perspectives are central within the fields of adult learning and counselling. Culture and society are changing continuously, and career choice is something that everyone encounters several times throughout the life-span. This course highlights the meaning of work and learning for the human being and the society, and what thus comes into play through the life-span and in the many career choices humans make. The different phases the individual moves through throughout the life-span, generates new situations and challenges, which makes career a continuous process of interpretations and reconsiderations. This might for example involve roles, relationships and identity, and it can be connected to happenings, phases and transitions.
