Training and professional guidance strategy for the Sociocultural Management for Development career

Abstract

Vocational Training and Professional Guidance is a training process in which educators guide adolescents and young adults in building a life plan. Therefore, this paper aims to design a vocational training and professional guidance strategy for the Sociocultural Management for Development program that engages students from different educational levels.

Qualitative and quantitative methodology were used for the research, including analytical-synthetic, inductive-deductive, and historical-logical approaches, and document analysis and semi-structured interviews as research techniques.

Among the main results is the development of a vocational training and career guidance strategy for pre-university students and those studying Sociocultural Management. This proposal, with its systemic, integrative, contextualized, transformative, and differentiated nature, promotes progress in this process from its stages and actions. The practice approach through the implementation of the strategy has, to date, demonstrated its effectiveness in producing the changes required by vocational training and career guidance for pre-university students in the municipality of Cienfuegos, as well as in ensuring student retention in the program once they choose it.
