Popis: The context in which career decision-making is being conducted is radically different from what it was in 1911 when Frank Parsons began his work with youth in the United States. The current context of evolving and escalating social and economic change in many countries of the world presents a challenge to educators regarding how best to prepare young people to move forward with their lives in a positive way. Studies involving young people in developing and developed countries have identified their needs pertaining to career guidance and counseling, along with the types of assistance that they would find helpful. The challenge across all countries is that as educators we are often in the situation of preparing young people with current educational programs for jobs that have not yet been created using technologies that have yet to be developed.
