Study Notes
Introduction to Vocational Guidance and Career Counseling
- Vocational Guidance and Career Counseling is a relatively new field that combines counseling and guidance to help individuals make informed career choices.
- Counseling and guidance are distinct but related functions, with counseling focused on a learning-oriented process to assist clients in achieving their goals, and guidance focused on providing information and advice to help clients make informed decisions.
Definitions of Key Terms
- Guidance Services: Uniquely individualized, advice-driven services that primarily involve imparting information (Corthel, 1993).
- Counseling: A learning-oriented process that seeks to assist clients in achieving their goals through a one-to-one social environment (Gustad, 1953).
- Career Guidance: A service that provides information to help clients choose appropriate and realistic employment options, directed by a counselor who is the orchestrator (Corthel, 1993).
- Career Counseling: The process of helping and enabling people in their career development, which may involve face-to-face or mediated help.
History of Vocational Guidance and Career Counseling
- The rise of industrialism in the late 1800s led to significant changes in the way people worked and lived, with urban areas growing quickly and attracting many immigrants and people from rural areas.
- Early developments in vocational guidance and career counseling include:
- George Merrill's plan for students to explore industrial arts courses in San Francisco (early 20th century).
- Jeff Davis's work as an educational and vocational counselor at Central High in Detroit (1898-1907).
- Davis's later work as a school principal in Grand Rapids, Michigan, providing class time to offer career-related information to students.
