Stifling Aspirations
27-July-2006
permalink email thisI cannot believe that a Careers Adviser would knowingly stifle someone's aspirations.
Although Careers Advisers are encouraged to challenge clients in terms of the perceived realism of their aspirations I wonder if this is going far enough.In terms of equality of opportunity./gender stereotyping ought we to take things further? This could ,for example, involve talking to girls who express an interest in "practical" work about bricklaying rather than just child care. I am not sure this always happens. Furthermore I am even less sure that it would happen in reverse. If a male client wanted to look at "practical work" would we consider dressmaking and child care or would we fear being ridiculed for doing this?
