dc.description.abstract Career counselling is the cornerstone of every person embarking on their career journey. While career counselling is still finding its roots in society, it became imperative for me to extend the need for these services at correctional centres. Career counselling should be integrated into the rehabilitation process to ensure that offenders make informed career decisions that will help them when they return to their communities. Against this background, the study explored the experiences of offenders receiving career counselling, the meaning they attach to it, and how their chosen career paths could assist with their rehabilitation and reintegration into society, especially by increasing their chances of being absorbed into the labour market. This is a phenomenological study where I explored the lived experiences of offenders at a Johannesburg correctional centre (JCC) who are receiving career counselling from an Open Distance eLearning institution (ODeL) like UNISA. The data collected here using in-depth semi structured interviews was analysed and interpreted using Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). The constructivist theory and chaos theory of careers were used in the study to give proper theoretical background. This study will assist counsellors with relevant skills and insight when providing career counselling to offenders enrolled at an ODeL university; it will also assist offenders in making informed career decisions. Provisioning these services will also play a role in rehabilitating participating offenders so they can be integrated into society on their release. Results from the study show although, offenders have little knowledge on career counselling, those who choose often do so based on their circumstances. It is also found that family contributes positively on the career decision making of the offenders, whereas on the other hand, the correctional officers have no contribution. en
dc.description.abstract Beroepsvoorligting is die hoeksteen van elke persoon wat hul loopbaanreis aanpak. Terwyl beroepsvoorligting steeds sy wortels in die samelewing vind, het dit noodsaaklik geword vir die navorser om die behoefte aan hierdie dienste na korrektiewe sentrums uit te brei. Loopbaanvoorligting moet by die rehabilitasieproses geïntegreer word om te verseker dat oortreders ingeligte loopbaanbesluite neem wat hulle sal help wanneer hulle na hul gemeenskappe terugkeer. Dit is teen hierdie agtergrond dat die studie die ervarings ondersoek het van oortreders wat beroepsvoorligting ontvang het, die betekenis wat hulle daaraan heg, en hoe hul gekose beroepsrigtings kan help met hul rehabilitasie en herintegrasie in die samelewing, veral deur hul kanse om in die arbeidsmark opgeneem te word, te verhoog. Hierdie is 'n fenomenologiese studie, waar die navorser die geleefde ervarings van oortreders by 'n Johannesburgse korrektiewe sentrum wat beroepsvoorligting van 'n Oopafstand-e-leerinstelling (ODeL) ontvang het, ondersoek het. Interpreterende Fenomenologiese Analise (IPA) is gebruik om die data wat ingesamel is deur middel van in-diepte semi-gestruktureerde onderhoude te ontleed en te interpreteer. Die konstruktivistiese teorie en chaosteorie van beroepe is in die studie gebruik om behoorlike teoretiese agtergrond te bied. Hierdie studie sal voorligters bystaan met relevante vaardighede en insig wanneer hulle beroepsvoorligting verskaf aan oortreders wat by 'n ODeL-universiteit ingeskryf is; dit sal ook oortreders help om ingeligte loopbaanbesluite te neem. Die verskaffing van hierdie dienste sal ook 'n rol speel in die rehabilitasie van deelnemende oortreders sodat hulle by hul vrylating in die samelewing geïntegreer kan word. Die resultate van die studie toon dat hoewel oortreders min kennis van beroepsberading het, doen diegene wat dit kies dit dikwels op grond van hul omstandighede. Daar word ook gevind dat families positief bydra tot die loopbaanbesluitneming van oortreders, terwyl korrektiewe beamptes aan die ander kant geen bydrae het nie. af
