Ladies and gentlemen,
On behalf of the Senate of Petru Maior University from Targu Mures I wish you the warmest welcome to the beautiful realm of the county of Mures. We are happy to be together and share these moments full of intellectual significance and utmost interest for the contemporary scientific world.
The fact that we have succeeded in initiating and managing an international debate on career counselling and orientation shows our interest and the university’s ability to answer the challenges posed by the profound changes of contemporary civilization.
Since its foundation in the year 1960, securing for itself an institutional continuity and cultural permanence in spite of several obstacles and constraints, PetruMaiorUniversity has presented itself in its full maturity and fame as an authentic and generous “university for the community”. Throughout time, PetruMaiorUniversity has known a complex evolution, marked by the events of the historical periods it lived through, but in the meantime it has played an important role as a nucleus of spirituality and culture in the Mures area.
Beginning with 1990-91 PetruMaiorUniversity has known a strong institutional dynamics which can be seen in the setting up of new faculties and specializations, in the increase of the number of students and teaching staff. The openness to the social and economic medium, the ability to answer properly to exterior challenges and provocations, the collaborations and partnerships with many institutions and businesses place the university in the position of a real integrator in the formation and development of professional competences and higher qualifications.
We have more than 6,000 students and 135 members of the teaching staff within the three faculties (engineering, sciences and letters, economic and administrative sciences), the college, and post graduate studies, the MAs, day and long distance courses. The structure of the scientific fields and specializations, beginning with the academic year 2005-2006 and according to the Bologna treaty and the Berlin agreement, is changing into modules which will allow better performance of the formative-educational activities, offering the graduates larger perspectives and better chances on the labour market.
At present our university has as partners 37 universities all over the world. Since 2002 it has been a member of the International Association of the Universities (I. A. U.). We have been participating in many European programs: TEMPUS, SOCRATE, LEONARDO DA VINCI, CEEPUS, within which there are activities of funding the implementation of the system of transferable credits, students mobility and visiting teaching staff.
The process of globalization, in its multiple shapes, strongly influences the future development of the academic institutions. Suffice it to say that a graduate will face a unique and global labour market, in which multiculturalism and national identity will have gained new values, with paramount influences: international qualification, long-distance education, virtual libraries, teaching in international languages, educational offer adapted to the needs of the society, modern institutional management, compatible with the international performance standards.
The integration of Romania into the European Union means the necessity of profound economic, political, social, cultural and behavioural changes, and also new attitudes towards values and norms shared in common. This process demands from universities special efforts to become active agents, in order to facilitate the compatibility with the formative standards which already exist in other countries.
Thus the International Conference on Career Counseling under the conditions of globalization perfectly places itself within this context.
The problematic under discussion in this conference on career choosing within globalization answers, in our opinion, to an urgent need generated by the complex and rapid changes made by the different situations observed at the level of professions and qualifications.
Counselling as a communication act is an offer opened to those who, under certain circumstances of life, feel the need to be advised by a qualified person with professional experience. It is a process which involves cognitive aspects, that is, providing information, acquiring techniques for job hunting. The affective aspect of counselling is important as well, because it contributes to improving the self-esteem and clarifying a positive attitude towards someone’s work and profession. The role of career counselling and guidance is to offer information, moral and emotional support to those undecided about their educational and professional future, guiding them carefully to identifying solutions and alternatives.
Career counselling, integral part of career management as a process of designing and implementing roles, strategies and plans, allows the organization to satisfy its necessities for human resources, and the individuals to achieve the scope of their career. In the last decades new models in career counselling (socio-cognitive, development of vocational personality, processing career-connected information) have been created and implemented.
On the impulse of these new social and individual needs, stimulated by real progress in the methodology and practice of career counselling, even since the year 1998, Petru Maior University has implemented the project of a Centre for Information and Professional Counselling, the initiator and organizer of this scientific event. Without going into details, I mention that the activity of this important academic structure is oriented to providing information about jobs, occupational alternatives, interesting offers concerning education and professional development, to shaping interests and motivation, activities of individual and group counselling.
We are sure that the valuable theoretical and methodological gains, as well as your experience concerning career counselling constitute a remarkable premise which contributes to the development of preoccupations in this important field of knowledge and action.
Thank you.
