Recently, university and society are changing speedily and students become eager for occupation. So, career preparation education for taking job is performed actively. But there is lack of professional who has professional work ability to perform the duty in Universities. And there are problems of suitability in education programs that administration staffs of universities perform. It is true that education and training programs of administration staffs are based on formal, standardized and simple research of education demand regardless of diversity of education method, careers, and working years.
So, this study is to do research study on development of education and training program to develop work ability of career administrators who are working in career development center or recruiting center in universities.
Followings are suggested to accomplish the goal of this study.
Research subject1. What is the present status of education and training of career administrators in universities?
Research subject2. Which work ability are career administrators expected to have?
1) How is the present work area and work ability?
2) How is the expecting work area and expecting work ability?
3) Which work area should be developed prior to anything?
Research subject3. What is the efficient method to develop work ability of career counselors in universities?
To perform research subjects above, I used mixed research method as I progressed 1st interview, 2nd interview, and 3rd detailed interview. And the results are following.
First, I researched education organization that perform education to career administrators by classifying university, Korean Council for University Education(public organization), and private organization. And there was no official education or very few for only career administrators of universities. And understanding of education program of each organization was good but there was no active participation or recommendation from university or their superior.
Second, I researched understandings of the importance, expected level, and present level of career administrators. As the result, understanding of the importance was over middle level. And for understanding of private work ability, expected level was higher than middle, but present level was somewhat lower than this. I could find out there was a gap.
Third, I analyzed work ability of career administrators that should be supplemented considering importance of the gap between expected level and present level. It was most urgent to develop work ability of network with HR manager of corporations, plan/development of career preparation education, operation of career preparation education, PR to corporations and career counselling. In the next place, it was urgent to develop work ability of cooperation with related organizations, introduction foreign employment(or foreign Internship), performing job test, and plan&holding recruit expo. From the detailed interview, I could find out that it was most important to acquire information network by set up network with HR manager. And as they counsel students very often, they are expected to have professional ability of career counselling and education.
Fourth, I surveyed about the effective time of education and training and method of developing. In 4 sections (education and instruction, counselling, administration, planning), 1 or 2 times' education was most preferred. As there was suitable time according to sections, frequent education was preferred in administration section. For method of education, they preferred various methods like external or internal duty education program and coaching. Most of career counselors were participating in external duty education program of private organization and public organization. There are programs for acquisition procedure of certificate of qualification and getting information and network of employment.
As above result, there should be communication network and organization system for career administrators, and they should be aware of importance of their work ability. When external and internal education program is prepared, the highly expected sections according to ability of career administrators should be applied to education and training program.
Succeeding study should follow by supplementing limit of this study with expansion of research object, and subdivision of education organizations.
