Development of national versions of the picture based guidance tool, Jobpics to different European countries

Jobpics consist of 183 pictures printed on durable polypropylene cards with motives from different vocations. Jobpics is based on the internationally well known RIASEC system from the career guidance field. RIASEC is a metodic system for categorizing the vocations in a country as well as exploring and systematize the vocational interests of a person. RIASEC catogorize vocations and interests into the following six categories. Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Sosial, Enterprising and Conventional. By adapting well recogniced theories from related fields like career guidance, with stringent theories which have proven their usefulness over decades we believe methods and the results in the field of vocational rehabilitation can take significant steps ahead.The idea of the project is to spread The RIASEC system and the innovative product Jobpics to other european countries, by developing and disseminating national versions of Jobpics. The project in each country will include: development and adaption of Jobpics in each country to fit national labour market vocations, production of a prototype, establish a marketing and distribution system an arrange training courses. After this project is completed, the Jobpics may be disseminated into further more european countries.We have found cooperating partners which represent a several different european countries that are interested in, and able to adapt Jobpics to the cultural context of their own country. The partners form a good mix of organizations, including vocational rehabilitation enterprises, a vocational college and a university.
