This chapter focuses on the career development process of African immigrant women living in the US. The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences these women undergo after migration and how they negotiate these experiences to develop their careers. A qualitative inquiry, motivated by a grounded theory methodology, was used to collect data. In depth interviews using open ended and semi structured questions were used. Five participants were recruited using purposive and snowball sampling. Data was transcribed from the semi-structured interviews conducted with each participant and analyzed using thematic analysis. Five themes were generated, revealing gender specific experiences of these African women immigrants during their career journey. Data collected also revealed barriers and challenges in the process of career identity development process. The findings might provide useful information to career counselors who play a key role in helping immigrant women navigate through career transitions in a new country.

The focus of the phenomenological quality study is on the career development of sexual minority educators. Career decision making among sexual minorities, including those who are educators, is related to personhood. This empirical study explored data from 24 sexual minority educators (teachers, mentors, and coaches) to explore career development and life stories. Data regarding stress, coping, and identity development were gathered, triangulated, and analyzed. Four categorical themes resulted: (a) helping identity (b), effectiveness as educators, (c) levels of support, and (d) levels of outness. Implications for employers, researchers, and helping professionals are provided.
