The challenges of living in a world of constant change and insecure environments, the stress of looking for a job and finding one that fits and motivates you is a stressful search for a student or a graduate. Offering a helping hand to students and graduates through counselling services appears to be the best idea so far.
According to the 5th key message of the Memorandum of Lifelong Learning (Brussels, 2002) – Rethinking guidance and counselling, a new approach is needed to make counselling a better, more accessible service. This message together with the need to offer help to students and graduates suggests that counselling services should use more accessible channels to youth, like Internet. The online career counselling services offer a more attractive and facile manner of finding information about the world of careers and employment opportunities, a better way of knowing yourself and putting yourself in a good light, a easy manner of receiving a piece of advice – in fact a more pragmatic manner of learning about self and self-career using the internet.
Learning mediated by internet, internet learning or e-learning how it is called today offer many possibilities for career counselling of students and graduate.
In this paper we shall analyse the theoretical and practical challenges concerning this topic and we also present a research conducted to see the development of the Romanian e-counselling services offered to students and graduate in terms of mission, methods of counselling, proposed activities and available resources and so on. In the end we shall try to suggest a few ways of development of these services. | Keywords
