Career development
Career development is a lifelong process that, whether we know it or not, actually started when we were born! There are a number of factors that influence our career development, including our interests, abilities, values, personality, background, and circumstances. Career Counseling is a process that will help you to know and understand yourself and the world of work in order to make career, educational, and life decisions.
Definition[edit]
Career development is the process by which a person's career identity is formed from childhood through a lifetime. There are a number of theories and models related to career development. These theories fall into four broad categories: trait-factor theories, social cognitive theories, narrative/career construction theories, and sociological theories.
Career Development Theories[edit]
Trait-Factor Theories[edit]
Trait-factor theories, such as Holland's RIASEC theory, focus on personal traits and how these match the requirements of a job or career. Holland identified six personality types: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional.
Social Cognitive Theories[edit]
Social cognitive theories, such as Bandura's social cognitive career theory, emphasize the role of learning and experiences in career development.
Narrative/Career Construction Theories[edit]
Narrative or career construction theories, such as Savickas' career construction theory, view career development as a process in which a person constructs a career narrative that gives meaning to their work and life experiences.
Sociological Theories[edit]
Sociological theories, such as Bourdieu's theory of practice, focus on the role of social and cultural factors in career development.
Career Counseling[edit]
Career counseling is a type of advice-giving and support provided by career counselors to their clients, to help the clients manage their journey through life, learning and work changes (career). This includes career exploration, making career choices, managing career changes, lifelong career development and dealing with other career-related issues.
