Career Counseling Theories and Adolescents

Vocational Personality
•An individual’s career-related abilities, needs, values, and interests.
Career Adaptability•4Cs adaptabilities: concern, control, curiosity, and confidence.
Career Construction Theory (Savickas, 2006)
Career Counseling Theories and Adolescents
Krumboltz’s Model for Social Learning
Negative social learning experiences early in life can leave a young adult with a disability feeling devalued or degraded.
Community and family perception of disability may also affect career growth opportunities and cultural expectations for a youth with a disability
(Hutchinson, 1995; Lorenz, 2011)
Counseling Implications
What does this all mean?
We must reflect on our work with adolescents.
Are we really meeting their needs?
Are we preparing them for “real world?”
