CareersNG

FROM MY SURVEY RECENTLY I DISCOVERED THAT UNLIKE THE WESTERN WORLD MOST NIGERIAN UNIVERSITY IF NOT ALL DO NOT HAVE A CAREER DEVELOPMENT CENTER.

THIS HAS CONTRIBUTED IMMENSELY TO THE LOW PRODUCTIVITY AND LOW SENSE OF FUFILMENT AND SATISFACTION AMONG NIGERIAN YOUTH ON THEIR JOB, BECAUSE MANY DO NOT END UP DOING WHAT THEY LOVE TO DO.

WE NEED TO REALISE THE FACT THAT "FOR YOU TO RECEIVE YOUR FULL ALLOCATION FROM LIFE, YOU MUST LOCATE YOUR OWN LOCATION (I MEAN YOUR OWN ENVIRONMENT OR NATURAL HABITAT)"

I THINK NIGERIAN UNIVERSITIES NEED TO SET UP A CENTER LIKE THIS IN ORDER TO BE ABLE SHOW THEIR STUDENT THE CAREER CLUSTER WHERE THEY BELONG BEFORE THEY ARE OUT OF SCHOOL.

TO KNOW YOUR CAREER CLUSTER, YOU NEED TO DO A SELF ASSESSMENT TEST.....

TO BE CONTD..

OK. We are waiting for the full message.

Actually there six major career clusters
which include:
THE REALISIST "DOER"To know the career you belong
THE ARTIST "THE CREATIVE"
THE INVETIGATIVE "PROBLEM SOLVER"
THE SOCIAL "HELPER"
THE ENTERPRENEUR "PERSUADER"
THE CONVENTIONAL "ORGANIZER"

(Begin to think of where yo belong)
This has been subdivided into Sixteen in the United State.
For the self assesment test, a checklist will be used.
(i will like to attach a word doc, how can i do that)
to be continued...........

THIS IS GREAT!!!
I LOVE YOU GUY'S CHALLENGE,
I VE ACTUALLY STARTED WORKING ON IT,
FROM MY SEMINAR SO FAR WITH DIFFERENT
TERTIARY INSTITUTION STUDENTS I VE BEEN MAKING
DIFFERENT OBSERVATIONS FROM WHICH I WILL
DRAW OUT INFERENCE, THEORIES AND CHECKLIST
FOR CAREER CLUSTER (THE NIGERIAN VERSION),
I WILL NEED YOU GUYS SUGGESTIONS AND CHALLENGE
THE MORE.

I WILL INTIMATE YOU AS I PROGRESSED.

One of the things you might want to do is to create a set of questions for a survey. The questions would aim at getting some unique information related to us in Nigeria aspa Career Cluster. You may share the draft of your survey questions with us here, and we surely be able to edit it and add more questions for you. If you have this set of pertinent questions and you perform a resounding survey over Nigerian institutions...then you would have data to infer so many things peculiar to us!

Wish you the best...

Guys and possibly girls,

In my sec sch at the initial we had a Career seminar kind of thing. Looking back today, it was good but very far from good enough. What do you think of Nigerian professional setting up a kind of consortium where professionals prepare syllabus for a full fledge career seminar and career guide for youths in Sec schools? So while they are still green they make the right choice and have the right confidence and guide to make dreams a reality.

So many of people have career path adjustments which they could have better avoided, if they had such guides. What do you think?


Idea broker at it again. Gast to run to finish work.

Cool idea but will they browse and be so serious minded to read through till they get to that post?

I guess we can not just have the material and wait for then but we may need to take it closer to them even to their schools so we succeed in what we have set out to do.

Meanwhile let me add some findings to Mr Career Cluster's work.

Here is Hollands code, its one of the most practical personality based distinction in career choice.
its called RIASEC (Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, Conventional).

Holland said everyone possess only 2 or 3 out of the six career clusters in this picture.




Can you identify atleast 3 of them that you are not! ?

if nothing i know i am not in realistic and conventional category!

Ok a follow up on this is....
Since we have 6 different career personalities (RIASEC).
And everyone has atleast 3 of them arranged in the other of Primary, Secondary and Tertiary strengths.
Therefore people wld ve either RAI, or SCE or SEC or SIR or ARI etc...
since order matters in the different arrangements of the alphabets, then the total number of possibilities would be 6 permutation 3 = 120
so Mr career cluster, according to Holland's code, we have 120 different possible career clusters.
it wld be interesting to find the distinctions between each of this 120 possibilities.
out of all my own career personality is IAE or IEA i wld zoom down on one very soon
so whats your own career personality!

Answer to the question on career cluster that was asked last year. I mean the Nigerian version of Career cluster.
Considering the situation in Nigeria and the various challenges being faced by the educational sector, the concept of Gifts/Talents should be given a serious consideration before an individual can determine his/her own career cluster.

Gift/Talent is the innate capability to do almost effortlessly what others cannot or rather do with so much stress. To effectively locate your career cluster, you must first discover your gift/talent.

Fowe,
is like you misunderstood me.
scientific principles in career development and personality psychology can be applied in Nigeria,
what i mean is that this should not be done in isolation. The issue of innate gift/talent should be consider
alongside. This way an individual knows the areas of work that he is very much good at and based on his/her
personality, interest and value he can then decide on which of them to pursue in life.
