Self-service

Term

Self-service

Definition

A mode of delivery of guidance services in which it is up to the client to select the guidance services, interventions or activities s/he will use.

Comment

In some settings, this is done by the client providing information about him/herself and then being directed automatically to services that might be appropriate. This approach is particularly common where on-line guidance services are being offered as all or part of the guidance service.

Self-help provision

Term

Self-help provision

Definition

An approach to the provision of guidance services that depends on the client either working on their own using resources and materials designed to be used without additional support from a career counsellor, or where responsibility for choosing an appropriate form of career support is left up to the client.

Comment

Many guidance services offer self-help materials to their clients; such materials are also widely available in other settings, such as libraries, on the web, etc.
Many self-help materials can also be used in group settings with or without the involvement of a career counsellor.
