JOBLAB
The secret multimedia laboratory for vocational orientation and academic careers
JOBLAB for career counselling JOBLAB can be used for both group presentations and for individual counselling. Individual careers can be presented and explored. You can also compare jobs in order to highlight their similarities and differences. The interests and abilities of the applicants can be pre-determined. Aspects of the compatibility of family life and work can be discussed. Experienced career counsellors will be able to define professional prototypes and use them as a basis for consultancy sessions.
JOBLAB as your own experimental laboratory
JOBLAB helps you discover your professional orientation and to find appropriate careers. It helps highlight prospective careers, taking your own interests, capabilities and wishes into account.
Through the development of your own career, you set the basis for orientation within the existing job scheme. During the simulation you can adopt different identities and then test various alternatives. Throughout this procedure new constellations and prospective careers are created. JOBLAB can be played alone or with others.
Training with JOBLAB
JOBLAB is well suited for presentations. It is possible to present and compare the jobs themselves and also to discuss frequently requested attributes such as flexibility and compatibility. Tips to help with job applications are available, as well as a compatibility simulator, with which you can try out different options to examine the compatibility of family life and work. JOBLAB can be used as a tool for discussion groups, as well as for speeches or longer lectures (e.g. as a general introduction to the topic "finding the ideal job"). The compatibility simulator facilitates the discussion of topics such as life planning, social labour division in family and work and gender-specific behavioural roles. The interviews and the subject/job related videos constitute topics for discussions linked to the theme "career" from different perspectives.
