Career development professionals inspire people of all ages and from all communities by providing personal career guidance either in person or online which enables the client to:
- Consider their circumstances, values and aspirations; 
- Confront any challenges and remove barriers; 
- Strengthen motivation; 
- Build resilience, confidence and curiosity; 
- Develop new perspectives; 
- Learn about relevant careers, jobs and the labour market; 
- Justify their thinking and be happy with the plan that they make to achieve their career goal. 
- Skills which will also help the client throughout their life. 
They do this by:
- Listening to their client’s initial ideas, qualifications, skills, experiences, circumstances and life aims; 
- Enabling the client to identify and consider the choices available to them; 
- Explaining information about the labour market and how to use this; 
- Outlining and exploring possible courses of action; 
- Helping the client plan how to achieve their goals; plans may involve employment, training, education, or a combination of these; 
- Supporting the client to see how they could overcome any barriers that prevent them from moving forwards, or referring them to other agencies that could advise them.
