Career Agency of Immigrants Participating in Employment Interventions in Norway
Mariya Khoronzhevych; Rikard Eriksson
British Journal of Guidance & Counselling, v52 n6 p1135-1150 2024
In this study, we apply a theoretical framework that combines the life-course perspective and the concept of temporality to explore the career agency of immigrants participating in employment interventions in Norway. Findings suggest that immigrants' career agency is influenced by several factors, including the management of family duties and temporal asynchronies; career history and temporal liminality; and coping with past traumas and temporal suspension. Immigrants might overlook job opportunities due to family obligations or opt for low-skilled professions, seeking an exit from temporal liminality. The endured traumas, followed by temporal suspension, prompt the pursuit of the employment opportunities that are less mentally taxing. Our study highlights the need for employment counselling that acknowledges the effects of disrupted life courses and temporality on immigrants' career agency. By comprehending clients' experiences of temporal challenges, counsellors can create tailored strategies and advice that resonate with clients' lived experiences and current social context.
