practitioners regardless of their stage of study.

Within the Common Room you will also find
the:
Reflection
Room
The question of what work is all about and
where it fits in the tapestry of our lives has been pondered by many for
decades, even centuries. Many people reached their conclusions – or
observations as I prefer to call them – and wrote them down. The new
world of work is prompting us today to wrestle with the apparent confusion
over changed situations, changed systems, changed norms, changed values.
I’m sure that these observations did not spring easily from the
authors’ pens. Each would have been the product of their journey through
life, with its complex variations of pain, disappointment, love, joy. In
the Reflection Room the observations will prompt you to reflect, gain
insights for your own benefit and also for those you help in the provision
of your particular form of career services support if you decide to share
some of them.

Cafeteria
Here in the cafeteria is ‘food for
thought’. These are quotations about the world of work and the role of
career helping. From time to time the ‘menu’ changes.
