“…At the same time, youngsters are expected to be intrinsically motivated to work when they enter the labour market (Sennett 1998;Irving and Malik 2005;Bimrose and Hearne 2012). Realising a sustainable career in today's labour market is primarily and increasingly the responsibility of individuals themselves (Savickas et al 2009;Maree 2016). Schools, therefore, embrace the idea of developing different skills that are needed for meeting the demands of the labour market, such as the ability to show flexibility based on commitment to work and commitment to the employer in changing times (Hillage et al 2002;Lafer 2004;Schulz 2008).…”

Schools are increasingly acknowledging their responsibility to guide students in their career development. However, the guidance that is provided in the Netherlands, as well as in other Western countries, focuses for the most part on helping students towards their academic achievement, and not on helping them to develop competencies to manage their own career. In order to promote this type of career guidance, 37 secondary vocational schools in the Netherlands participated in a project that offered a training programme, aiming to teach teachers how to conduct career dialogues with students. The programme offers expert guidance to integrate a dialogical approach to career guidance and a more enquiry-and practice-based curriculum in the school's vision and policy. In this article, the results of semi-structured interviews with 50 teachers who participated in the project are presented. These interviews were conducted right after the start of the project, to study how teachers perceive the initial situation regarding career development in their schools, as well as their perception of the initiated plans and ambitions for development, both in their own learning environment and the learning environment of their students.

“…Much of this research involved case studies of individual counseling sessions and self‐guided career intervention. Results of these studies have indicated positive client change, including increases in reflexive action (Hartung & Vess, 2016; Taylor & Savickas, 2016), self‐reflection (Cardoso, Gonçalves, Duarte, Silva, & Alves, 2016; Cardoso, Silva, Gonçalves, & Duarte, 2014; Hartung & Santilli, 2017), agency (Di Fabio, 2016; Maree, 2014; Taylor & Savickas, 2016), vocational certainty (Cardoso, Gonçalves, et al, 2016), self‐awareness (Maree, 2014, 2016a; Maree & Twigge, 2016), new career narratives that enhance quality of life (Setlhare‐Meltor & Wood, 2016), satisfactory work‐related contexts (Maree, 2015; Maree & Twigge, 2016), and willingness to deal more adaptively with career‐related challenges (Maree, 2016a). Research on life‐design group counseling and online group counseling has indicated similar changes for participants in the form of developing a unique sense of self (Maree, Pienaar, & Fletcher, 2018); fulfilling an identity (Barclay & Stoltz, 2016b); increasing career decision‐making readiness (Barclay & Stoltz, 2016a; Di Fabio & Maree, 2012); improving meaning making (Lengelle, Meijers, & Hughes, 2016); and elevating career certainty, career self‐efficacy (Cardoso, Janeiro, & Duarte, 2017), and career adaptability (Maree & Symington, 2015; Nota, Santilli, & Soresi, 2016).…”

The authors examined whether and how counselor interventions foster client change during life‐design counseling (Savickas, 2015). Two counseling sessions were conducted. Interviews with the 2 clients and the counselor after each counseling session were done in accordance with interpersonal process recall (Larsen, Flesaker, & Stege, 2008). The results indicated a scheme of counselor interventions that corresponded to client change. Specifically, the counselor fostered client reflection and reflexivity by (a) exploring original constructions, (b) identifying problematic themes in the constructions, (c) interpreting those themes, (d) identifying and recording client change and reflection, (e) connecting the themes to current issues, (f) facilitating a process of critical review, and (g) facilitating the reconstruction process. The results add a counselor's perspective to the research on client change and suggest a study of cases facilitated by counselors with diverse styles and skills that could further identify links between client change and counselor intervention.

“…These processes are vital to life design counseling in that students can use instructor feedback as reflective self‐awareness tools. The expectation is that self‐awareness will lead to reflexivity, which is the intentional meaning‐making activity of changing self and behavior and planning for the future (Maree, 2016; Savickas, 2016).…”

Designed as part of an individual career construction and life design counseling intervention, the Career Construction Interview (CCI) and My Career Story (MCS) workbook aid career counselors and other career service providers in helping clients construct, deconstruct, and reauthor their career stories. Recently, some career counselors have developed ways of using the CCI and the MCS in group settings. In this article, the author offers 3 additional ways to use the CCI and, thereby, add creativity to the career counseling process. These 3 ways include use of written exercises, career collages, and career portfolios. The article concludes with a call for career practitioners to continue to think creatively in using the CCI with clients.
