Career management learning frameworks
www.derby.ac.uk/icegs
http://www.blueprint4life.ca/
“The Blueprint framework sets out an approach to career development which is underpinned by a learning paradigm. Its advocates reject the idea that career is just about making vocational choices and argue that in flexible and dynamic labour markets individuals need the ability to actively manage their careers. The term ‘career management skills’ is used to describe the skills, attributes, attitudes and knowledge that individuals need in order to do this. The task of careers work is accordingly conceived as fostering learning and personal development.”(Hooley et al., 2013)

In conclusion
Managing a career requires some skills, attributes and knowledge.
Some of this is the same online as it was before the internet existed (but reframed by the new environment).
Some of it is almost entirely new. The 7 C’s provides a framework that career professionals
can use to work with clients.
