As the workplace becomes increasingly complex and competitive, the need for more comprehensive career counseling services has become imperative, not only to direct youth in positive ways but to help them make effective transitions into satisfying careers. In this text, Dr. Lapan provides an integrative contextual model for the career development of children and young adults. His model offers a framework for exploring how fundamental career constructs develop within an interconnected network of cultural, social, economic, and political contexts. Exemplary career counseling constructs and techniques for all educational levels are provided to link theory and practice in a concrete way. Professionals will learn the skills necessary to empower young people to make proactive, life-affirming career choices that enhance personal satisfaction and well-being.
