My Ideal Career Provision...Hhmmm

We have been asked to think about our ideal career provison.....not as easy as it sounds.

Okay here it goes: My ideal career setting would be located central to Edinburgh, cater to all ages and backgrounds.
I feel the set up should be straight forward and advisors deal with guidacne and career related issues. I would have other points of contact under the one roof that deal with other issues like, drug and alcohol problems, housing, disabilities etc.

I would like the main reception to have a 'diagnosing' point where you are then directed to the correct persons who deal with that area or specific problem. I know some people dont agree with the term 'diagnosing' but i feel if the client can be seen by the appropriate person at the start then it makes them feel much more comfortable with the whole process.

Some clients are passed from pillar to post because the advisor cant or doesn't have the skills or knowledge to deal with client. I turn the client can be left to feel more vunreable and perhaps not come back. I want to client to feel they have come to an environment where their needs priority.

I feel there should be a model within the insitute but just a guidline and that your own personal techniques should be present. You conduct the interview as you see fit and use whatever means of guidacne you feel is necessary for that client.
