“…With reference to Guichard's questions (referred to earlier), Blustein et al (2019) maintain that sustainable development goals are in line with the increasing support for the decent work agenda and its positive correlation with social justice issues such as decolonisation, transformation, ethical behaviour and the common good of humanity. These goals align with my own views (Maree, 2020) on the value of devising and adopting a viable model to advance Goal 8 of the UN Agenda (UN, 2016, 2019), particularly enhancing sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all.…”

This article reflects on several factors that influence the art and science of career counselling in different contexts. An adapted systematic literature review was implemented to examine developments in the career counselling field and to explore innovative career counselling strategies that have universal relevance and sustainability in the Anthropocene era. The continued relevance and functionality of career counselling in South Africa (as an example of a Global South, developing country reflective of the situation globally) is examined. I reflect on a possible theoretical and conceptual framework for career counselling in the ‘career Counsellocene’ era and I argue for an approach that contextualises career counselling in different contexts in the future workplace and meets the career-counselling needs of people in the Anthropocene era. A career-counselling approach is needed that emphasises the importance of eco-awareness in reversing the impact of human abuse on the environment.

“…Although career guidance is essential in schools, most schoolchildren do not have this privilege. Maree (2020) argued for the provision of career counselling, which he views as a multidimensional process that should be contextualised and constantly innovated to be appropriate and relevant, especially in Global South contexts where colonisation took its toll. The deficiencies in career counselling services, especially in South Africa's non-urban communities, have also been criticised (Pillay, 2020).…”

Background: South African youth in poor and rural communities have faced serious challenges, and the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has worsened their situation. The odds are stacked against them as they try to obtain an education, and eventually a career. Many students struggle to complete their studies amidst the pressure of the pandemic, and concerns over career possibilities weigh heavily on their shoulders.Objectives: The need for this research is to highlight the challenges faced by youth within the education system. It is also to explore the failings of the South African government and its education sector.Method: A brief overview of the current and historical literature was conducted. Relevant literature was reviewed and critically analysed.Results: Eight major themes emerged from the literature surveyed. These included access to education, difficulties faced by girls, racism, infrastructure problems in poor and rural schools, child-headed households, education during COVID-19, food security and the absence of career guidance in low-income schools.Conclusion: In light of South Africa’s difficult history, and the fact that it is 27 years after the fall of apartheid, the state of South Africa’s education system is not conducive to education and promoting career development in young people. More attention needs to be given to education in poorer communities, and government needs to be held accountable.

“…2009;Savickas 2012). Tans, soos nog nooit tevore nie, het werknemers 'n groot behoefte aan loopbaanintervensies wat aangepas is om die kontemporêre beroepswêreld onder oë te sien en wat individue in staat stel om voortdurende verandering en oorgange te bestuur(Cohen 2021;Maree 2020). In die post-COVID-19-pandemie-era is werknemers besig om betekenis met betrekking tot veral werk en lewe te herevalueer(Cohen 2021).…”

“…Briddick en Sensoy-Briddick (2017) dui aan dat die LOB-paradigma spesifiek ontwikkel is om die 21ste-eeuse talentbestuurseise en -uitdagings aan te pak, wat klem plaas op die bestuur van die onstabiliteit en onsekerheid van die werkomgewing. Dit vorm 'n integrale deel van die bedryfsielkundeprofessie om stabiliteit en sekerheid binne die werkomgewing te bewerkstellig(Barnard en Fourie 2007;Moralo 2021).Om LOB binne die bedryfsielkundige professie effektief toe te pas, is dit belangrik dat praktisyns die kulturele, biografiese en sosio-ekonomiese faktore van loopbaanvoorligtingsituasies met elke kliënt in ag moet neem(Maree 2020). Hierdie faktore speel 'n invloedryke rol ter verbetering van die toepaslikheid en funksionaliteit van beroepsvoorligtingsintervensies binne verskillende kontekste en lande.…”

Opsomming Doeltreffende talentbestuur verseker dat die potensiaal van personeel ontwikkel word sodat werknemers ’n optimale werkservaring kan beleef. ’n Goeie talentbestuurstrategie sluit in dat werknemerwelstand verbeter word deur op loopbaanontwikkeling te fokus. Bedryfsielkundiges is goed in organisasies geposisioneer om werknemers se loopbaanontwikkeling effektief te hanteer. Die loopbaankonstruksiebenadering van Savickas is ’n postmoderne beroepsvoorligtingbenadering ter verbetering van die funksionaliteit van beroepe. Hierdie teorie kan gebruik word om die loopbaanbestuurbehoeftes en -uitdagings van werknemers te ondersoek. Savickas se loopbaankonstruksieteorie, wat elemente van die loopbaanteorieë van Super en Holland en die psigoterapeutiese teorie insluit, is ideaal vir gebruik in die bedryfsielkundeprofessie. Die effek van die veranderende wêreld in die werkplek, wat met loopbaanbestuur verband hou, kan aangepak word deur Savickas se benadering te volg.
