Outsourcing career management to educators of Ngotoane High school

Abstract

The research was undertaken to encourage educators to participate in career management initiatives. The Self Directed search questionnaire (SDQ) which is a mostly used Holland's career intervention tool, was administered to educators of Ngotoane High School. The instrument consists of three sets of activities, competencies and occupations corresponding to the six personality types. The items of the SDQ are summed to yield a summary from which Holland's Occupational Code is derived. Information about the HOC was also integrated with the information gathered through unstructured interview so that the educators can make well-informed decisions about their careers.
