“…A growing body of literature has investigated the increasingly important role of information and communications technology (ICT) in careers work (e.g. Harris-Bowlsbey & Sampson, 2001;Sampson, 2008;Watts & Offer, 2006;Watts, 1996) and the ways it can be used to deliver services (e.g. HarrisBowlsbey & Sampson, 2005;Sampson & Osborn, 2013;Watts, 2002).…”

(60 -120 words)Much progress has been made in integrating information and communications technology ICT into careers practice, but there is still room for improvement. An international lens is adopted to examine some key elements that contribute to the successful integration of information communications technology (ICT) into careers practice. We start by exploring the role of policy, using the UK as a case study. Next, the perceptions that Finnish career practitioners have of ICT are reviewed using research findings into the different ways they think about social media and its purpose in career services. Finally, lessons learned from the design and integration of online services within career development programming in Canada are discussed that ensure accessibility both to practitioners and their clients.

“…A consensus has emerged in that both the practitioner and information and communications technology (ICT) have an important role to play in the design and delivery of career services (e.g. Harris-Bowlsbey & Sampson, 2001; Vuorinen, 2006; Watts, 1996). …”

There is evidence to suggest that the latest wave of technologies, especially social tools, have considerable potential for career services (Hooley et al, 2010a), but more studies are needed to support professionals in their need for models that enable them to fit together existing guidance practices with new technologies (e.g.…”

This article reports the outcomes of a study, undertaken from a phenomenographic perspective, of career practitioners’ conceptions of social media usage in career services. Fifteen Finnish career practitioners – representing comprehensive, secondary and higher education as well as public employment services – were interviewed in focus groups. The analysis of the interview data revealed five distinct descriptive categories reflecting the career practitioners’ conceptions of social media's use in career services. Social media in career services was conceived as (1) unnecessary, (2) dispensable, (3) a possibility, (4) desirable and (5) indispensable. The results indicated associations between career practitioners’ conceptions and their practice. Moreover, the critical aspects identified in this study can be used to support the career practitioners’ understanding of new technologies in career services.

“…As the traffic flow on the website increased, the number of walk-in students decreased. HarrisBowlsbey and Sampson (2001) used the construct of hopes and dreams to illuminate the potential for improving the effectiveness of computer-based career planning systems. The authors presented an historical overview of the use of computer and web-based technologies in career planning and considered the place of the computer as an important support tool for the career practitioner.…”

The use of technology is well-established in teaching curricula and as a tool for educators in secondary schools in New Zealand. Within their career practice in schools, practitioners are regularly using web-based technologies. However, most career practitioners are unlikely to participate in the process of establishing and maintaining school websites, and in particular the career-related content. The perceived relevance of school websites can therefore vary for practitioners, especially where various practice settings are considered.Résumé. Le rôle des sites web des écoles dans le développement de carrière. L'utilisation de la technologie est bien établie dans les programmes d'études et comme outil pour les éducateurs dans les écoles secondaires en Nouvelle-Zélande. Dans leur pratique professionnelle dans les écoles, les praticiens utilisent régulièr-ement des technologies du web. Cependant, la plupart des praticiens de carrière sont peu susceptibles de participer au processus de création et de maintenance de sites web des écoles, et en particulier concernant le contenu sur la carrière. La pertinence perçue des sites web des écoles peuvent donc varier pour les praticiens, en particulier lorsque divers milieux de pratique sont pris en compte.Zusammenfassung. Die Rolle von Schul-Internetseiten in der Praxis der Berufsberatung. Der Einsatz von Technologie ist in Neuseeland gut in Lehrplänen und als ein Werkzeug für Pädagogen in der Sekundarstufe von Schulen etabliert. Im Rahmen ihrer Berufsberatungspraxis in Schulen, benutzen Praktiker regelmäßig web-basierte Technologien. Allerdings nehmen die meisten Praktiker eher unwahrscheinlich am Prozess der Etablierung und Pflege von Schul-Internetseiten teil, insbesondere deren Laufbahn-bezogenen Inhalten. Die wahrgenommene Bedeutung von Schul-Internetseiten kann daher für Praktiker variieren, vor allem wo verschiedene Praxisumstände berücksichtigt werden.Resumen. El Rol de las Páginas Web en la Práctica de la Orientación para el Desarrollo de la Carrera. El uso de la tecnología en el currículo escolar y como herramienta para los educadores en los centros de educación secundaria de Nueva Zelanda está bien extendido. Los orientadores utilizan regularmente las tecnologías virtuales en las instituciones donde trabajan. No obstante, la mayoría se muestra reacia a participar en el proceso de hacer y mantener las páginas web de los centros escolares, particularmente las de contenido relativo a la carrera. De ahí que la relevancia adjudicada por los orientadores a las páginas web de las instituciones pueda variar, especialmente cuando diversos condicionantes son tenidos en cuenta.
