Sustainable Employability and continuous career development:experiencing the value of Core Qualities

The development and stimulation of sustainable employability and labour participation can be supported by insights in and the awareness of the personality of individuals. Working with personal characteristics, such as Core Qualities and its connected concepts such as Pitfalls, Challenges and Allergies, as well as the Core Quadrant as an overarching framework seems to have practical value for career counselling and guidance. More research would be needed for scientific validation. This counts especially when it comes to application of the Core Qualities for the development of sustainable employability, continuous labour participation and career development. However, based on earlier studies in different fields of application, we would like to test whether the ‘proof of the pudding is in the eating’ during this workshop
