Summary/Abstract: This book is for university administrators, professors, and career specialists, and it provides them with a comprehensive introduction to the BE(A)ST (BE Aware Student) approach. The BE(A)ST approach aims at enhancing students’ awareness of personalized career development, fostering a connection between their professional identity, beliefs, and actions to support career awareness. With the BE(A)ST approach, we provide a solution to improve the alignment between the career and the life of our students. The Personalized Career Development (PCD) course based on the BE(A)ST approach and described in this book is the result of three research programs focused on the development of the method and on its adaptation, scientific validation, and dissemination.

- Summary/Abstract:In an ever-changing world, people and organizations face a growing number of threats with increasing levels of volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. To face this reality, managers and specialists need to be armed with a set of soft and technical skills inherent to their jobs and positions. This reality is recognized by OECD, UNESCO, and others, with Higher Education Institutions increasingly embracing Social Responsibility concerns, job market views, new generation learning styles, and student perspectives on career planning.

- Summary/Abstract:Nowadays, careers are becoming a series of ‘temporal projects’ that serve personal and professional development. Future employees, in order to be effective and efficient in career design, should be able to quickly prototype, test, and revise professional development plans in an agile and continuous manner. Therefore, modern career developers need a proper mindset, framework, and set of tools. This new way of thinking about career and undertaking professional development actions should be shaped as early as possible, preferably already during formal education at the university, if not earlier. This chapter presents the foundations of the BE Aware STudent approach (BE(A)ST). It takes into consideration the discussion on the dynamics of job market changes and its influence on career development as outlined in Chapter 1. The conclusions from the previous chapter show that career development nowadays can be considered as a wicked problem. These insights have set the stage for the main motivations, objectives, and structure of the BE(A)ST approach, as well as the key benefits to all stakeholders. The chapter also presents comparative analysis that has been carried out with regard to BE(A)ST vs. traditional and modern career development frameworks foundations. As the BE(A)ST methodology is fully agile and user-centric, the final part of the chapter discusses its innovativeness in these areas from the perspective of Design Thinking and Agile frameworks.

- Summary/Abstract:We developed the BE(A)ST approach by following a three-phase methodology that intertwines academic research and problem solving. We have iteratively developed and tested the evolving prototypes of Personalized Career Development (PCD) courses in six different international and local programs. First, we designed the BE(A)ST approach (identification of tools, course structure, and course format). Second, we identified the students’ profiles with student-centered ethnographic research and obtained the BE(A)ST profile matrix, which maps four profiles of students across student career proactivity and student career decidedness, as well as developed and validated a self-assessment questionnaire for student profile identification. Third, we designed the PCD course, matching tools and profiles with a workshop co-designed with experts, and validated the solution in a five-day international school with 20 students.

- Summary/Abstract:In order to help higher education institutions to better support students’ career choices, we introduce a set of 21 tools and techniques to assist students in the four stages of Self-Reflection, Professional Identity Definition, Career Scenarios Exploration, and Career Prototyping and Testing. These tools are a part of the BE(A)ST approach that can be implemented in four course formats (detailed in Chapter 5) by educational institutions, career professionals, professors, as well as the corporate world. In the second stage, we present the student profiles and their distinct needs, as well as the questionnaire to classify the students and off er personalized counseling. Indeed, we have developed a detailed, personalized path for each student profile, proposing tools to meet their specific needs.

- Summary/Abstract:The model in which a person obtains a stable occupation after formal education has been replaced by the need to build many, often divergent individual development paths throughout one’s working life. This shift poses a huge challenge for higher education institutions: universities must now move from the mode of ‘mass production’ of a workforce to an approach that treats students individually with respect to their interests, values, passion, and character traits. The innovative Personalized Career Development (PCD) course aims to develop an individual student’s skills in planning his/her educational path and professional career using the Design Thinking framework and supporting techniques. Using this course, universities can prepare students to be more agile in educational track individualization and increase students’ adaptability in the process of conscious career development.

- Summary/Abstract:Th is chapter is a catalog presenting the selected tools (all presented in Table 4.1 in Chapter 4), involving an in-depth look at all the tools that a PCD course introduces to students. The tools are ordered alphabetically and presented according to stage (Self-Reflection, Professional Identity Definition, Career Scenarios Exploration, Career Prototyping and Testing). Each tool description is organized around four points: 1) short description; 2) benefits for students (what the student gains with a successful application of the tool); 3) usage scenario (how to run the activity from a teacher’s perspective and how to execute it from a student’s perspective); and 4) practical instructions (suggestions for a better implementation of the tool gleaned from the authors’ experience with various tests).
