An introduction to the Kawa Model

This brief introduction gives a bit more context to how the series came about and a short animated overview of the Kawa model, and analogy of career journey as river, that's been used throughout many of the conversations.

With emphasis on journeys, pathways, narratives and possibilities, and with its natural lean towards creative or visual learning styles and multimedia formats, using the Kawa model and that analogy of career journey as river course was a natural fit in terms of a lens to frame this career conversation series.

The Kawa Model has been used as part of Career Converations vodcast and podcast series which focused on hearing and sharing the career narratives of our diverse workforce and highlight a whole range of possibilities in occupational therapy. It forms part of RCOT and Health Education England (HEE) collaboration to create an Allied Health Professionals (AHP) Workforce Reform to shape the future of the AHP personnel. The learning and insight will be for all four nations.
