To assess the impact of a holistic career and life planning course on college students. the authors asked 209 students in treatment and control groups to complete measures of career development. Results indicate that the course significantly increases vocational identity and career decision-making selfefficacy and decreases career indecision.ollege students have a variety of developmental needs, inchding the need to address issues of personal and vocational identity (Chickering C & Reisser, 1993). In terms of career needs, Super (1990) theorized that traditional-aged college students are typically making the transition from tentative vocational preferences to more specific goals and plans. Nontraditional students, who now make up a substantial percentage of many college enrollments, have career needs that reflect their specific life transitions (Splete, 1996). The developmental transitions for traditional and nontraditional students are not always smooth and often pose challenges for students. For example, college students fiequently change their career plans and majors while in college (Pascarella & Terenzini, 1991), and many have concerns, such as anxiety stemming fi-om career indecision, a lack of confidence about the career exploration process, limited self-knowledge, and limited occupational information (Mauer & Gysbers, 1990). In other words, most students have a~ variety of developmentally based needs concerning their careers, including decision making and exploration.Colleges often attempt to meet students' career-related needs with some form of career and life planning course. These courses typically focus on selfassessment, career exploration, and decision making. Surprisingly little research, however, has assessed the effectiveness of career and life planning courses with college students, despite the high frequency of their use. Whereas a few studies have reported positive effects of career and life planning courses on college students (

“…Although we evaluated the short‐term effects of an intervention, a follow‐up would be more instructive about the true value of career counseling (Morell, ). Researchers (Bernes et al, ; Healy, ) and organizations (Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development, ) advocate the use of follow‐up evaluation studies that investigate the short‐, medium‐, and long‐term effects of interventions (D. Hughes, Bosley, Bowes, & Bysshe, ) and the implementation of career plans (Phillips, ). The studies by Bernaud et al () and Perdrix et al () are examples of evaluation of career counseling using a follow‐up design.…”

Economic issues linked to career counseling are a cause for concern to policy makers in developed countries because they expect career practitioners to provide evidence of the efficiency of career counseling interventions. The aim of this study was to test an individual evaluation method mixing time series (outcomes) and life narrative (processes). The method used 5 items related to 1 client's career decision self-efficacy and studied the evolution of those items throughout the intervention of 1 career counselor (43 days). Changepoint analysis helped in identifying the changes that have to be taken into account for time series and which are contextualized in the client's verbatim analysis. This mixed method highlighted that the career counselor's intervention increased the client's career decision self-efficacy. Practitioners could use the methodology proposed in this article to evaluate their interventions. They could also report their practice to clients, employers, and decision makers.

The current study seeks to build on to the existing literature on career interventions by empirically examining possible outcomes of two of the most widely utilized career interventions, career counseling and career courses. This investigation used Critical Ingredients (Brown & Ryan Krane, 2000;Brown, et al., 2003;Ryan, 1999) to assess the components of career counseling and career courses and the relationship between number of critical ingredients and student outcomes. Critical Ingredients were also used in a separate pilot study where career counselors and students were asked to report the number of critical ingredients present in a career counseling session. Student course participants (N = 139) and counseling participants (N = 130), enrolled at a large Midwestern university were assessed at three timepoints during the iii Acknowledgments
