Group guidance – is it time to flock together?

Meldrum, Susan

Abstract

This article calls for delivery models which encourage the collective career learning of groups to be brought to the centre stage of career guidance practice. It challenges the long term focus of the sector on the one-to-one guidance interview and considers why group work is seen as a support activity for the majority of practitioners. The group integrative narrative approach (GINA) which was developed by the author will be introduced as a model of small group work and its potential to act as a vehicle to steer group career learning will be discussed.
