The Role and Importance of Consultants Work Education at the Employment Service of Slovenia

Abstract

The changes in an external environment, especially within the labor market,encourage continuing education, not only those who want to acquire the additional skills for advancement in their career path or passage out of an unemployment situation but also the employment advisers. The latter communicate with an unemployed person and are able to perform their function properly only if they are proffesionally and personally mature. We want to present the current required advisers work in Slovenia on the basis of the field research, which was carried out for the preparation of the particular degree thesis. It is inevitable today that each individual is trained for both the professional and the career development as well for personal growth. Employment advisers are in continuous contact with unemployed. Their knowledge, skills and ultimately personal maturity, may be helpful for unemployed people which can be therefore successfully and effectively orient to the desired field of employment. The research has pointed out that it is necessary to expand the level of training for employment advisers. It makes sense to consider different employment roles and diversity of functions of the employees in order to develop various forms and methods of education for employment advisers, which includes also e-education.
