There are numerous sectors promoting personal project as an answer to the uniform
requirements of the system. For example, we encounter the personal project in the
customer relation policy of companies marketing their own products, and that name so
the online form for ensuring customer loyalty.
We encounter the project method in formal and non-formal education, as part of a
didactic style targeting individualization of learning. By case, the project may be assumed
by a group or may contain individual complementary tasks that are complementary for
the members of a team.
A personal project in counselling is defined through a tentative structure, and equally
through the style and degree of achievement of its reference points. The main fields of
personal project analysis are:
- Finality:
goal definition
goal particularization to the context of application
magnitude of change - Process:
available resources
calendar
personal and social effects
alternative plans - Assessment:
progress assessment
final assessment
success recognition
The personal project is an individual plan for career development. Any investment in
becoming aware of, assuming, improving and personalizing one’s career represents a gain
in itself for the subjects, and it is why more than one measurement unit such as: accepted
/ rejected, fulfilled / unfulfilled can be applied to personal projects.
Target population
Personal project can be used in counselling pupils in all types of schools, university
students, graduates in search of a job, adults who re-enter the labour market or want to
change jobs.
