DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe purpose of this handbook is to assist high school students and college freshmen to make objective career decisions, and choose appropriate courses and training towards the achievement of their career goals. According to Frank Parsons (1854-1908), who was known as the father of vocational counselling, ideal career choices are based on matching personal traits (aptitude, abilities, resources, personality) with job factors (wages, environment etc.) to produce the best of the trait/factor theory of career development. In order to make decisions toward appropriate career choice, students need career information, which may include self-assessment tools, to help them develop their self-awareness, opportunity awareness and career education which students receive in high school. The curriculum in high school includes career planning, where students are given a wealth of information about career and college planning. School counsellors assist high school students in setting goals, researching options, and long range career and college planning. This book offers a simple and practical self-assessment tool to help students match their personality characteristics to occupations and make appropriate career and training decisions. Students would be able to take courses that would lead them towards their career goals. Parents would also benefit from this book, and would be able to guide their children in making good career decisions.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Career brings together individuals' paths through life, learning and work. It describes how people interface with social institutions including the education system, employers, civil society and the state. Because our careers are socially and culturally embedded it matters where they are enacted. Career and Career Guidance in the Nordic Countries explores what kind of context the Nordic region offers for the pursuit of career, how the development of careers are supported in welfare societies, and how career guidance is enacted in this context. The Nordic region encompasses an area in Northern Europe and the Northern Atlantic comprising Denmark, Sweden, Norway as well as Finland to the east and Iceland in the Atlantic. It includes also the self-governing areas of Åland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands. This region has long been seen as a source of progressive policy innovation in education and employment and this book focuses and explores the place, the enactment and the theories of career guidance in these Nordic countries"--

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCareer Development in the Schools describes a dynamic process that continues to evolve in its rationale and practice. In many schools and in a variety of scholarly writings, the status of career development is controversial. Some observers assert that career development should be seen as a by-product of all of the knowledge and activities that are incorporated in the educational experience. In this view, career development tends to be seen as a random process that happens in a natural, almost magical way, without specific direction or structured form. However, most career theorists would argue that the career development of students should be a major mission of the school—a process too important to be only a by-product of scattered learning and activities that are inherently uneven from student to student. The prevailing contemporary perspective contends that career development in the schools should be planned, have its own content derived from research and theory, be systematically executed, and use methods that are relevant to the developmental levels of students throughout elementary, middle, and senior high schools. To further such ends, several national models of content and practice have been formulated by the American School Counselor Association, the National Career Development Revised Guidance Project, and by other organizations to identify the components, competencies, and outcomes that students of different ages and aspirations need to acquire as they grow in maturity. Several of these models are discussed at length in the various chapters of this book.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe number of minority health professionals in the United States does not mirror the ratio of minorities in the population. Efforts to increase the number of minorities in health care has the potential to begin in the secondary education setting with effective career counseling to encourage minorities to consider health care professions. This collective case study examined the career counseling experiences of minority students, comparing them with those of non-minority students. Theories of critical race theory and social cognitive career theory were compared with qualitative interview data collected in three high schools. The data was gathered in the Spring and Fall of 2007, and followed twelve high school students, parents and a sampling of school guidance counselors. The study found that career interests and outcomes expectations, variables within social cognitive career theory, play a major role in the selection of careers for minority students. Minority students are not adequately exposed to challenging health care careers, which contributes to the disparities in the number of health care providers and disparities in health status between minorities and non-minorities. The study also found that counselors are ill prepared in the multicultural dimensions of career guidance counseling, and understaffed when attempting to deal with guidance counseling, especially with minority students.

Grafton Eliason, Mark Lepore, Jeff Samide, and John Patrick, from California University of Pennsylvania and Clarion University of Pennsylvania. The purpose of Career Development Across the Lifespan is to provide a broad and in-depth look at the field of career development as it applies to individuals involved in all areas of community counseling, school counseling, and higher education. The book will examine some of the field's major theories, themes, approaches, and newest models incorporating chapters from national and international career counseling experts. Specific emphasis is spent examining issues reflective of today's challenges in developing and maintaining a workforce that is diverse, flexible, and efficient. Readers will be provided with an action-based framework built on the best available research. This text book is truly the culmination of a decade’s work, compiling comprehensive studies from four previous volumes and updating key concepts in career counseling with the most contemporary theories and innovations. We examine three primary domains of career counseling throughout all of the developmental stages of the lifespan: community, schools K-12, and higher education. We include a specific focus on career history and theories, to prepare students for both the counseling environment and for national exams leading to certification and licensure, such as the (NCE) National Counseling Exam. We also include cutting edge research on contemporary topics, including such areas as: military careers, life after the military, individuals with disabilities or special needs, career counseling in our current socio-economic environment, and current technologies such as virtual counseling. In addition, we have added case studies and key terms as study guides at the end of each chapter. We are fortunate to include many recognized experts in the field of career counseling. Career Counseling Across the Lifespan: Community, School, Higher Education, and Beyond is a comprehensive text, written to address the broad needs of career counselors, educators, and students today.
