Full Description
First published in 1984, Careers Counselling in Practice is intended as a practical guide and a review of developments in careers work. It surveys careers counselling and guidance practice in schools, colleges and universities as well as work done outside the educational field by vocational guidance agencies. The book draws freely on examples of guidance practice and in particular makes mention of trends in American careers education and guidance. In reviewing transition agencies and services, it argues firmly for an educational rationale for careers work and counselling rather than a guidance model based on state employment agencies. This is an important reference work for career counsellors, educationists and policy makers.
