Definition(s)

  • Career counseling is a multifaceted set of activities designed to help people (a) make or remake occupational choices, (b) find jobs, or (c) achieve satisfaction and success in the workplace. Career counseling had its beginnings in the vocational guidance movement, a progressive political reform movement that emerged at the beginning of the twentieth century to improve living conditions and reduce poverty in major urban areas of the newly industrialized United States by helping young people find satisfying and sustaining work.
