STANDARD PRACTICE
LEVEL 4
1
1. Introduction
The practice of career guiding originated from the United States (USA) and the United
Kingdom (UK). The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)
Career Guidance Policy Review 2004 defines career guiding as “services and activities
intended to assist individuals, of any age and at any point throughout their lives, to make
educational, training and occupational choices and to manage their careers”.
This definition includes making information about the labour market and about
educational and employment opportunities more accessible by organizing it,
systematising it and having it available when and where people need it. It also includes
assisting people to reflect on their aspirations, interests, competencies, personal
attributes, qualifications and abilities and to match these with available training and
employment opportunities.
In the early 1960's United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
(UNESCO) recognized guidance and counselling services at school level. Between 1962
and 1963, a consultant expert from Canada provided training to senior education officers
to be as the first generation of counsellors for the education sector in Malaysia. In 1981,
several universities began to offer Bachelors in Education Program (Guidance and
Counselling). By 1996, every secondary school should have at least one full time
counsellor.
The Career Guidance Services Level 4 personnel deal with various stakeholders
including employees, employers, trade union, employers association, students, higher
and technical education institutions, under graduate, private and public employment
agencies, person with disabilities, retirees, women etc. He/ She needs to network with
many types of stakeholders with various diverse backgrounds to channel and guide them
towards their desired career goals. The Career Guidance Services Level 4personnel are
at the frontlines of career guiding. They need to engage clients’ high expectation to
secure jobs and careers whilst trying to match and fulfil the industries / enterprises
manpower requirements.

1.2. Rational of NOSS Development
During the First Malaysia Plan (1966 to 1970), career guiders for the employment sector
had been introduced to address the problem of unemployment, which reared its head for
the first time in the 1960s. Despite encouraging growth in the Gross Domestic Product
(GDP), employment rates had not grown at a commensurate pace. In addition, there was
also the problem of ethnic specialisation in certain professions.
Following trends in the past 40 years, fluctuations in the global and the national
economy has continued to influence the supply and demand of the labour market.
Currently, developed nations such as the UK, South Korea, and Japan already have in
place such mechanisms which plays role as an active mechanism to address labour
market crisis. To date there are no such mechanisms in place to develop the mass of
career guiders required by Malaysia to address such crisis. Figure 1 show the numbers of
career guiders registered for every population of a country 2 .

Current demand projections for career guiders in Malaysia based on man-hours are at
896 personnel. Thus, in interest of developing Malaysia's resilience towards such crisis,
in the 11th Malaysia Plan, the government triggered an action plan of rejuvenating Jobs
Malaysia’s role through strategising its responses to increase its impact and relevance for
the nation.

Malaysia has not registered as a member of WAPES. Only 55 people are undertaking employment services.

Under the initiative, four (4) pillars of action plan have been formulated, which are:-
Focus group discussions among practitioners discovered there are existing occupations
at level 3 classified under the Malaysia Standard Industry Classification (MSIC) in the
area of Activities of Employment Placement Agencies.
Findings of the workshops showed the scope of work exhibited by both occupations at
level 3 and level 4 are similar, but variable by depth of responsibility. Thus for the
benefit of complete and sustainable career development, the Standard Development
Committee decided to embed occupations at level 3 and level 4 into one document
known as Career Guidance Level 4. While at level 5, the Head Career Advisor’s scope
of work is clearly distinguish to include the management of the wider labour market.
The Career Guidance Services Level 4 personnel are consistent with the alignment of
competency definition at level 4 recognised by Department of Skills Development
(DSD) as the personnel needs to be competent in performing a broad range of complex
professional work activities performed in a wide variety of contexts and with a
substantial degree of personal responsibility and autonomy- of which in this area of
practice it is all about handling, advising, guiding (try to influence) a person towards
their desired career paths. They also need to be responsible for the work of others and
the allocation of resources since they handle career development programs such as
career fairs and exit interviews.
On the other hand, the Career Guidance Management Level 5 personnel are competent
in applying a significant range of fundamental principles and complex techniques across
a wide and often unpredictable variety of contexts which adherently are displayed when
the personnel are constantly engaged in fact-finding methodologies for the labour
market. Level 5 personnel have substantial personal autonomy as compared to Level 4
personnel because they are responsible for the work of subordinates, the allocation of
resources and personally accountable for analysis, diagnosis, planning, execution and
evaluation of complex economic scenario covering large areas of the economy, such as
labour market forecasting.

1.4. Regulatory / Statutory Body Requirements Related to Occupation
The overall aspect of career guiding functions is under the purview of Department of
Labour (known as Jabatan Tenaga Kerja). On the 6th of June 1974, Malaysia ratified the
Employment Service Convention 1948, (No. 88) of the International Labour
Organization (ILO) which relates to the role of employment service performed by
Department of Labour. The convention requires its service rendered to all citizens
without any fee incurred.
Department of Labour under the Ministry of Human Resources (MOHR) provides a free
public employment service known as JobsMalaysia. It facilitates job opportunities to job
seekers offered by employers. Functions of JobsMalaysia are as follows:
The following are the list of labour laws, policies and regulations registered under the
purview of Department of Labour to regulate employment placement activities, not
limited to the following:-:-
5
i. Workers Minimum Standards of The Housing and Amenities Act 1990, (446)
j. Anti-Trafficking in Persons and Anti-Smuggling of Migrants Act 2007, (670)
k. Employment Service Convention 1948, (No. 88)
l. Private Employment Agencies Convention 1981 (No. 181)
Being a national employment authority, Department of Labour has the power to:-
All employment placement activities including career guiding activities are required to
be registered under the Department of Labour.

core competencies:-
7. Work Conditions
The Career Guidance Services Level 4 personnel deal with various stakeholders including
employees, employers, trade union, employers association, students, higher and technical
education institutions, under graduate, private and public employment agencies, person with
disabilities, retirees, women etc. He/ She needs to network with many types of stakeholders
with various diverse backgrounds to channel and guide them towards their desired career
goals. The Career Guidance Services Level 4 personnel are the front-liners of career
guiding. They need to gauge jobseekers expectations to secure jobs and chart careers whilst
trying to match and fulfil the industries manpower requirements.

8. Employment Prospects
Recent global recession periods, the governments infused millions of dollars into the area
Activities of Employment Placement Agencies such as job training and career guiding in
hopes of providing unemployed individuals with new skills and the means to find
employment.
However, as the unemployment rate lowers and the overall economy improves, governments
are reducing their budgets for these services. Over the next five years, unemployment is
expected to continue gradually declining as consumer sentiment and business profit improve
globally. This industry will face declines as government funding reduces due to spending
cuts and budget imbalance.
However in Malaysia, there will still be a need for career guiders as Malaysians look to the
industry for help in advancing their careers throughout an extended recovery in
unemployment. Recent Malaysian government intervention through the 11th Malaysia Plan
to rejuvenate JobsMalaysia will propel a need for increase mass of career guiders. Current
demand projections for career guiders in Malaysia based on man-hours are 896 personnel.
Such initiative will also spur the demands for career guiders in those agencies among them
are-
10
9. Up Skilling Opportunities
Opportunities to up skill career guiders are available through professional courses within
established institutions of higher learning. Career advancement in this area is recognised by
the Department of Labour through the Malaysian Skills Certification System (MSCS).
Practitioners registered under Career Guidance Services Level 4 can up skill to Career
Guidance Management Level 5.
Internationally, there are routes into careers guidance for both university graduates and
school leavers. Any degree discipline is acceptable for entry into the profession; maturity in
attitude, relevant experience and personality are usually more important than subject studied.
There are two higher education routes to becoming a careers adviser. In England, Wales and
Northern Ireland, candidates can study for the Qualification in Careers Guidance (QCG),
which is a university course completed in conjunction with work experience. Alternatively,
it is possible to take the vocational Advice and Guidance NVQ level 4 routes.
