Applying career competencies in career management

Changes in the labour market mean that individuals are increasingly required to take more responsibility for their own careers. In order to do so, they have to develop the skills and abilities necessary to secure employability. However, many employees need help in managing their careers (Kidd et al., 2004). One effective way of supporting individuals in their career development is though career guidance emphasising competencies. This article follows a previous article (Haase at al; ADM, 2012) and presents a recent study into the development of career competencies in police officers.
