DESCRIPTION
What does it mean to have a career? How do people end up working in different jobs? What
work-related issues concern people at different life-stages? How can teachers and counsellors
provide quality career services to their students and clients? These are the types of questions
that will be discussed in this class. Theories of career development, along with the practical
application of theory in educational and counselling contexts, will be presented in the first part of
the course in order to help students critically examine and evaluate career issues from a variety of
perspectives. The second half of the course will focus on the implementation of career services in
various educational and community settings. There is a large experiential component in this
course and students will be expected to apply theoretical concepts to their own process of career
development.
OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this course, it is expected that students will be able to:
• understand the different theoretical conceptions of career development and compare,
contrast and critically evaluate career development theories.
• provide examples of how career development theories are implemented in educational and
counselling contexts.
• explain how the career development process and career needs can vary amongst diverse
populations (e.g., youth, women, people with disabilities, people with different cultural
backgrounds).
• explain how career services can be tailored to meet the needs of diverse student and client
groups.
