Student guidance and counselling at Satakunta University of Applied Sciences

Abstract

Sustainable competence for the future challenges us to rethink student guidance and counselling from a new and fresh perspective. Quality guidance and counselling is not self-evident. It is about cooperation, shared values, attitudes and professional ethics between different guidance and counselling providers. Multidisciplinary and sustainable guidance and counselling requires learning, reshaping and changing one’s ways of thinking, and experimenting and developing new practices together.

This publication is intended for everyone involved in student guidance and counselling at SAMK, especially teacher tutors, supervisors of practical training and thesis, teachers and student counsellors. The objective is to introduce the background of guidance and counselling, to support and harmonise SAMK’s guidance and counselling practices and to provide tools for it.
