JOB OPPORTUNITIES
Counselling & Psychotherapy
Counsellors assist people with personal, family, educational, mental health, and career problems. Job opportunities for counsellors are very good because job openings are expected to exceed the number of graduates from counselling programs.
The health care and social assistance industry employs about 47 percent of counsellors, and state and local government employ about 11 percent
Psychology
Employment of psychologists is expected to grow 15 percent from 2006 to 2016, faster than the average for all occupations. Employment will grow because of increased demand for psychological services in schools, hospitals, social service agencies, mental health centres, substance abuse treatment clinics, consulting firms, and private companies. Competition for admission to graduate psychology programs is keen. Overall employment of psychologists is expected to grow faster than average.

THE LISBON TREATY
Bologna Agreement
Declaration of 19 June 1999 by European Ministers of Education convened in Bologna. Agreed to construct a "European Higher Education Area" based on fundamental principles of university independence and autonomy to ensure that higher education and research in Europe adapt to the changing needs of society and advances in scientific knowledge. Work to increase international competitiveness of European system of higher education. Agree to work together to adopt a system of comparable degrees to promote European citizens and adopt a system of two main cycles—undergraduate and graduate with the second leading to the masters or doctorate. Also agreed to establish a system of academic credits (such as the European Credit Transfer System) that would be easily transferable to promote widespread student mobility, improve access for students and training opportunities, recognize staff work in Europe, promote European cooperation in quality assurance working toward compatibility, and promote European dimensions of higher education. This is an agreement moving Europe toward comparable degrees and cooperation in quality assurance.
Lisbon Convention
An agreement about recognition of qualifications (degrees and diplomas) for higher education in Europe adopted in Lisbon in April 1997. Supersedes the former strict logic of "equivalence" of diplomas and degrees with the concept of recognition. The convention assumes trust between participating countries about the effectiveness of quality assurance and accreditation in each country. Includes a "diploma supplement" issued to students obtaining a degree. Developed by the European Commission, the Council of Europe and UNESCO/CEPES, it describes the type, level, context and the status of diplomas or degrees in a standardized way. It is an information tool to enhance portability and transparency of European diplomas and degrees. The Convention is designed as de facto recognition of degrees in Europe by the other signators.
Sorbonne Declaration
Declaration of 25 May 1998 stressing universities central role in developing European culture. Adopted by United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Italy. It urged the creation of the European area of higher education as key to citizen mobility and employability as well as the continent's development. Other European countries were invited to join in this effort. It set the stage for broad participation and consultation that was to result in the Bologna Declaration in June 1999. While not directly focused on quality assurance, it paved the way for the Bologna agreement and European cooperation in higher education generally.
