This study conceives career development as a design process and not as a planning activity. An uncertain and fast-changing professional environment requires adaptation and training in a proper mindset. Since there is no such thing as expertise in life, Design methodologies and principles may be helpful for students to develop self-awareness and guidance. This study presents a comparative approach based on Beckman and Barry’s (2007) learning framework of the two main career development methodologies for students based on Design Thinking: Designing Your Life and BE(A)ST (BE Aware STudent). Designing Your Life explores design thinking principles and techniques to help individuals create fulfilling and meaningful careers. BE(A)ST is an approach, process, and set of tools that assist students in designing their careers while still at university

Abstract
This study conceives career development as a design process and not as a planning activity. An uncertain and fast-changing professional environment requires adaptation and training in a proper mindset. Since there is no such thing as expertise in life, Design methodologies and principles may be helpful for students to develop self-awareness and guidance. This study presents a comparative approach based on Beckman and Barry’s (2007) learning framework of the two main career development methodologies for students based on Design Thinking: Designing Your Life and BE(A)ST (BE Aware STudent). Designing Your Life explores design thinking principles and techniques to help individuals create fulfilling and meaningful careers. BE(A)ST is an approach, process, and set of tools that assist students in designing their careers while still at universityI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
