Who is our Trainer?
Dr. Robert C. Chope is a professor and former Chair of the Department of Counseling at San Francisco State University where he founded the Career Counseling Program. He is also the founder of the Career and Personal Development Institute in San Francisco, a practice that he has had for over 29 years. His is one of the oldest professional career development practices in the United States and is the source of much of the data that Dr. Chope has featured in his consultation and scholarship. (This sentence does not make sense to me). Dr. Chope has been licensed in California as a Marriage and Family Therapist since 1971 and a Psychologist since 1977 and has been listed in the National Registry of Health Care Providers in Psychology since 1980. He was the president (2008-2009) of the National Employment Counseling Association (NECA).
What is the training all about?
How does the family of origin affect the process of deciding on a career path? What interventions can family members use to assist in the career development process? In this engaging presentation, Dr. Chope draws upon his extensive experience in education and counseling to address the family's role in career decision making. Participants will learn about innovative counseling tools and interventions that deepen the career and life planning process in efficient and systematic ways.
What will I learn by participating?
With these new techniques, you can understand how family background, history, mobility, support, conflicts, nurturing, and exposure to new ideas influence the counseling process. By incorporating a more integrative, holistic approach, you can engage family members as partners in a collaborative planning process. Career counselors/educators and their clients/students don't need to work alone. Explore how bringing in family members to help in the career decision making process can be wonderfully beneficial to everyone.
