Abstract

This submission explores how partnerships between students, course facilitators and industry experts provide an opportunity for students to gain agency through career development learning. We question how models, spaces and mode of career development learning shaped students' experience in a postgraduate WIL subject during 2020 and 2021. Based on this exploration, this presentation will also illustrate how a partnership approach shapes the development of narrative counselling skills. We will explore the process of preparing future-ready graduates for professional work as Career Practitioners and the impact of drawing on course leaders’ (CLs) and industry experts’ (IEs) reflections on the delivery experience and students’ engagement. Our findings are based on inductive narrative analysis of video recorded interviews about career development learning co-created with CLs and IEs. Student experience will be examined through lenses of professional practice and co-construction of meaning. Narrative analysis will be presented, based on themes evident from the CL and IE cohorts. Discussion will explore approaches to developing partnerships with IE, CLs and learners and how this fosters professional identity. We conclude that further attention to mode, space and the way teaching and learning relationships are developed provides greater opportunity for scalable practice that provides opportunity for diverse learners.
