Many careers services are realising the increasing importance of access to accurate information, and are further developing resource centres that clients can use to research their work and study options. When the Careers and Appointments Service at the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS) was re-established in early 1995, a career resource centre was created to support career counselling activities, and to give students access to a wide range of employer and occupational information. This case study outlines the tasks undertaken in setting up the centre, and reflects on issues involved.

This study uses an individual case study to explore how creative practice can facilitate reflection on self-learning from a narrative career counselling perspective. The case study features the original creative output and associated writing task produced by a higher education student as part of a skills award. The study considers what is meant by creativity and the use of creative practices in narrative career counselling. Based on the case study, it considers the potential implications for narrative career counselling regarding the use of creative practice to facilitate both reflection and stimulate internal and external dialogues around self-learning.

It has become critically imperative that career counselling be made accessible to the majority of the South African population. At the same time it has to continue to address the needs and diversity of individual learners. This article attempts to illustrate the potential and flexibility of a post-modern model for career counselling. Career counselling from a post-modern perspective requires reconsidering the traditional modern approach of the 20th century. Increasing disillusionment with modernism because of unfulfilled dreams and ideals have resulted in a change of approach to career counselling that corresponds with the post-modern discourse. The change of focus has been one from ‘matching to the ‘empowerment’ of clients, not only to make career choices, but also to accept primary responsibility for these decisions. The needs of the client come first with the sole view of empowering him/her to make his/her own decisions about the future. A narrative approach is adopted by which the client creates hislher own life story, with a view to creating an ideal story as close to the ideal as possible. This model, which progresses through three phases, inter alia, comprises a consultative process of career counselling to all learners, irrespective of race, gender, age or culture. The article is highlighted by the presentation of a case study in which the proposed model for post-modern career counselling is put into practice by administering counselling to a gifted black child.

Adolescence is a critical stage of human development that needs special attention and direction. Psychologists identify this period as quarter-life transition due to the silent struggle and crisis many adolescents face in this crucial period. Identity creation is the major psychosocial task identified by Erikson and Marcia who made elaborate studies on adolescents. If proper guidance is not provided, adolescents struggle and wobble in their steady growth and identity creation. Influenced by peers, adolescents are confused and confronted by realities which are beyond their aptitude and interests. As career choice takes precedence in identity creation, identifying the aptitude and interests and, relating this to their vocational preference plays a major role. This case study elaborates the identity struggle and the role of vocational guidance and counselling intervention in helping an adolescent in his growth and development.

This article elaborates the emerging career human agency theory and its applicability to career psychology practice. Using Bandura’s human agency theory as a foundation, career human agency theory is a meta-theory that integrates key tenets from major theories in vocational and career psychology. It presents an endeavour of theoretical integration to conceive and understand career issues and vocational behaviours. The article provides a brief overview of career human agency theory, indicating its postmodern constructivist and constructionist worldview in conceptualizing life-career phenomena, while integrating life and career experiences into a dynamic and coherent whole. To this end, the four pillar theoretical principles and constructs of career human agency theory are reviewed, namely, career intentionality, career forethought, career self-reactiveness, and career self-reflectiveness. Furthermore, the article considers and explains the usefulness of the four constructs as they are applied to professional helping and self-helping processes that improve and enhance the vocational wellness of individuals, connecting career human agency theory to practice. In doing so, the article concludes with a case study illustration to demonstrate how these career human agency theory constructs and their related tenets and ideas can inform and guide career development practice and career counselling interventions, utilizing and strengthening agentic functioning in individuals’ worklife wellbeing.
