Abstract
This paper explores the debate between certificates and degrees in today’s job market. It examines the value of industry-specific skills from certificates versus the comprehensive education of degrees. By analyzing evidence and perspectives, the paper provides insights to help professionals make informed decisions aligned with their career goals.
Summary
In today’s fast-paced job market, the debate between the value of certificates and degrees is more relevant than ever. With industries evolving rapidly, professionals are continually seeking ways to stay ahead of the curve. Traditionally, degrees have been seen as the gold standard, providing a comprehensive education and critical thinking skills that are highly valued. However, as the demand for specific skills grows, certificates have emerged as a quicker, more targeted way to gain expertise and advance one’s career. This shift has led to a crucial question: which should come first for those looking to accelerate their professional path? Certificates offer a unique advantage by focusing on industry-specific skills and practical knowledge. They are often developed in collaboration with industry leaders, ensuring that the curriculum is up-to-date and relevant. For professionals looking to quickly pivot into new roles or industries, certificates can provide the necessary skills without the time and financial commitment of a traditional degree. Moreover, many employers recognize and value these credentials, especially in fields like technology, where practical skills are paramount. On the other hand, degrees offer a broader education, equipping individuals with a diverse set of skills and a deeper understanding of their field. Degrees can also provide a stronger foundation in theory and research, which is essential for certain professions. Additionally, the experience of earning a degree often includes valuable networking opportunities and access to a community of alumni, which can be beneficial for long-term career growth. Despite the rising popularity of certificates, degrees still hold significant weight in many professional circles and can open doors to higher-level positions and greater earning potential. Ultimately, the choice between pursuing certificates or degrees first depends on individual career goals and the specific demands of one’s industry. For some, starting with certificates might be the quickest way to gain the skills needed for immediate job opportunities. For others, a degree might provide the necessary depth and breadth of knowledge required for long-term success. As professionals navigate their career paths, understanding the distinct benefits and limitations of each option will be crucial in making informed decisions that align with their aspirations and the evolving job market. The paper will explore this controversial issue in depth, providing a comprehensive discussion supported by evidence with shedding light on the complexities of the topic and offer well-rounded insights.

Abstract
The work system framework has appeared in S. Alter’s work on systemic thinking. (2002, 2003, 2008, 2013). See references provided in PowerPoint. The work system approach for understanding Systems includes both a static view of a current and existing system in operation, plus a dynamic view of how a System can evolve over time through planned change and unplanned adaptations. The static view is discussed by describing the Work System Framework, which identifies the basic elements for understanding and evaluating a typical Work System. Alter’s framework is prescriptive enough to be useful in describing a System, identifying problems and opportunities, describing potential changes, and sketching how those changes might affect other parts of the work system. No System works solitarily on its own and has an impact on the individual, team, and on itself. There are 9 elements of the Work System Framework: 1. Process and Activity, 2. Employee Performance, 3. Shared and Unshared Information, 4. Technologies, 5. Products and Services, 6. Customers, 7. Environment, 8. Infrastructure, and 9. Strategies. The presenters will discuss the above with relevance to marginal populations in the workplace system and strategies to collaborate for equality and equanimity. Thank you.

The objective of this presentation is to explore a real-case example of how technology can be leveraged to support the skill-based approach in career counseling to benefit both the cousnelors and the job seekers.
Abstract
This presentation will explore the paradigm shift that is happening in the labor market and career counseling towards a skills-based approach, and how the use of technology tools can support that to create more equitable labor markets for all.
Summary
As there is an increasing discrepancy between skills supply and demand, employers are shifting towards skill-based hiring to cover their needs. To best support this shift in the labor market, career counseling needs to follow. While traditional approaches focus on stories, personality preferences, and experiences, we propose a proven skills-focused approach. We conducted 11 qualitative interviews with counselors that use a skill-based technology in their practice. We will present the results of the research, and contextualize it within relevant theories.

Abstract
This paper presents the Jordanian experience in the field of professional and career development, providing a comprehensive analysis that balances the current reality and future aspirations. We discuss the historical context and challenges faced by professional initiatives in Jordan, as well as the successes achieved so far.

Through this presentation, we aim to provide insights and recommendations that contribute to the improvement and development of future policies, which contributes to enhancing the competitiveness of the Jordanian workforce at the local and international levels.
Summary
Education and training systems and the labor market are facing increasing challenges due to global developments such as new technologies, the Fourth Industrial Revolution, demographic changes and climate change. All this has a profound impact on the lives of individuals and society. The development of technology has promoted economic globalization and opened up new opportunities for individuals, but it has also opened up new risks, as has the green transformation and the blue economy.
Jordan is a young country, with 63% of the population under the age of 30. This category represents a challenge to many state institutions in providing education and training that corresponds to their needs and inclinations, and meets the requirements and skills of the labor market. Studies indicate that there are many reasons for the high unemployment rate in Jordan, the most important of which are: the lack of vocational guidance for students and job seekers, the lack of opportunities to find work after graduation, the difficulty of obtaining jobs that match the qualifications of graduates, low salaries and working conditions, the gaps between the skills of graduates and the needs of employers, Social and cultural obstacles for women in the labor market.
Demographic change, new ways of working, migration for reasons of work and security, and the restructuring of work have profound effects on Jordanian society and the skills that the labor market needs. These changes also have an impact on the concept of “profession”. It is no longer acceptable to have a “job for life”, but a flexible and modern career path with the possibility of changes between learning and working paths. We need to prepare individuals to deal with the challenges associated with educational, professional and career life throughout their lives, not just at the beginning of their career. For this purpose, we need to develop the capabilities of Jordanian citizens of different age groups in managing their professional and career life-long according to their inclinations and desires and enhance their self-confidence.

This paper serves as a case study for other Arab nations, detailing the implementation of national standards, ICT-driven services, and the professionalization of career practitioners, aligned with Qatar National Vision 2030.
Summary
Qatar Career Development Center (QCDC), founded by Qatar Foundation (QF), is pioneering efforts to unify career guidance and development efforts in Qatar through the establishment of a comprehensive national ecosystem. This paper presents QCDC’s strategic undertakings as a case study for other Arab states, elucidating the methodologies and socio-economic approach to initiatives that has fostered success in Qatar.
The paper begins by analyzing the fragmented career development landscape in Qatar, identifying the systemic challenges that propelled QCDC to adopt a national approach. Central to these endeavors is the Qatar National Career Guidance Concept Paper, which delineates the practical measures necessary to construct a cohesive framework. This Concept Paper addresses national standards, policies, labor market information, ICT-driven career guidance services, and the enhancement of entrepreneurial practices.
Additionally, the National Career Guidance Framework is examined, which amalgamates the outcomes of various career development projects executed by QCDC and educational institutions. This framework articulates the competencies required for Qatar’s citizens to adeptly navigate their careers, commencing from K-12 education, and engaging key stakeholders such as parents, students, and educators.
The paper also examines the Qualification Program for Career Practitioners, which is aimed at professionalizing career guidance service providers through certification and formal academic training. This initiative ensures that career practitioners are equipped to support diverse citizen groups and effectively manage career centers.
QCDC’s collaboration with EduCluster Finland, which yielded pivotal outputs such as the Career Development Competencies Framework and Career Development Diploma, is showcased as a model for successful international partnerships. The paper concludes with practical lessons learned and recommendations, providing a scalable model for other Arab nations to establish effective career development ecosystems in alignment with their national socio-economic visions.

Summary
Travelling abroad is not always moonlight and roses. Youth and career practitioners should be aware of the reality of travelling abroad, the harm it might incur in case of an illegal immigration and the opportunities that is waiting for them in case they are prepared correctly.
In our practice, we tend to prepare youth for studying and working abroad by assisting with cover letters, resumes, and finding top-notch institutions. However, we often neglect equipping them with essential tools for this journey. A culture shock and disturbance stems from the lack of preparation for this transition.
We will use the GROW framework to prepare youth for their journey :
1. G: Goal – Understanding the flexibility of goals. It’s okay not to have a clear 10-year plan, but they should define their goal for the next five years based on current self-knowledge and research.
2. R: Reality – Understanding their values, beliefs, and the potential challenges of different cultural perspectives. Recognizing one’s limiting beliefs and the differences in cognitive and social skills shaped by various education systems.
3. O: Options/ Obstacles- Define country options and obstacles based on reality from a tool like informational interviews and websites as Going lobal. Learn decision-making tools. Informed decision-making helps develop analytical thinking and rationality.
4. W: Way Forward – Discover the “why,” plan for potential obstacles, and develop strategies to overcome them. Techniques like journaling and others can help strengthen clients’ resilience by deepening their understanding of their goals and intentions. This step is about building the needed skills for the journey as well. How to create a personalized training plan for oneself based on his own needs?
