Application of online conseling services in facing competition asean economic community

Abstract

Abstract MEA in Indonesia in 2015 has been in the spotlight and has generated a myriad of debates among the public. MEA itself is one form of realization of ASEAN’s vision to create a single market and production base that is stable, prosperous, and competitive. This, of course, greatly affects all systems in Indonesia, including the education that participates in receiving the impact of the AEC. Counseling as one part of education, of course contributed greatly to the policy. The development of increasingly sophisticated knowledge and technology in the MEA, does not necessarily also have a positive impact in the wider community, so we often encounter a growing number of social problems that develop in modern society. That is why counselors as an educator are felt to need to develop creativity in providing services to prevent and overcome problems that will arise in the MEA. One of the efforts that can be taken is using online counseling services. Various forms of counseling services (one of them online counseling) aims to develop all the potential possessed by the children of the nation, so as not to be left behind by the competition that arises in the MEA. Referring to this explanation, the counselor as a counseling service officer, is considered important to develop a variety of counseling service strategies in dealing with the MEA.
