Many studies validate career construction counseling (CCC); however, counselors’ experiences of using early recollections (ERs) in CCC have garnered little research attention. Preliminary research among career counselors in Norway has revealed skepticism about using ERs, owing to aspects such as associations with therapy. Therefore, this study examines career counselors’ experiential reflections on using ERs in CCC. Through thematic analysis of multistage focus group interviews from action research with 16 career counselors, their experiential reflections on using ERs in CCC were identified. Necessary awareness for using ERs in CCC is discussed, and the study indicates career counselors’ raised awareness regarding role understanding and a need for promoting career counselors’ emotional and narrative competences. A dual training process is suggested, combining being counseled using CCC with both theoretical and practical training along with a professional community for reflections. Practical implications and limitations are discussed, and directions for future research are suggested.

“…Career construction theory holds that individual career development is actually a dynamic construction process of pursuing mutual adaptation of subjective self and objective external world [20]. The career construct theory with career adaptability as the core focuses on the individual and attaches importance to the influence of individual characteristics on individual career development [21]. It can be seen that the career construction theory argues that in the uncertain modern society, an individual's career needs to be developed and managed by themselves, especially for college students [22].…”

Career adaptability has attracted extensive attention from international scholars as one of the important factors predicting the future sustainability of individuals. Proactive personality and calling have a positive influence on individual career development and life satisfaction, with reference to promoting the sustainable development of individuals. This study focuses on the positive effects of career adaptability and calling on shaping female primary school pre-service teachers and provides suggestions for training excellent elementary school teachers and building quality primary education. This study investigated the relationship between proactive personality, calling, and career adaptability among 707 female pre-service elementary school teachers in Chinese universities. The results showed that proactive personality positively predicts calling and that proactive personality and calling positively predict career adaptability. Calling partially mediated the relationship between proactive personality and career adaptability. Therefore, it is possible to enhance calling by cultivating the proactive personality of female pre-service teachers in elementary schools, thus further promoting the career adaptability of this group. On this basis, effective strategies should be adopted in the future to improve the career adaptability of female pre-service teachers in elementary schools for the sustainable development of this group.

“…Case in point, Katie talks about how the road to college was rough, where she said, "I never even wanted to go to college. Dalene (2022) found that many counselors need more resources to make better decisions for students selecting a major in college. Some counselors are taking steps to positively impact students by becoming involved in special training and focus group sessions to offer a better perspective for guiding students to a future career.…”

This paper will discuss pathways women have experienced in selecting a major in higher education Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) related industries such as construction management. This study examines two current students and three alumni stories on the journey that led them to where they are today in their desired profession of construction management. Qualitative interview questions were asked of these women on how prior childhood and young adult experiences shaped their decisions and the obstacles they experienced in degree selection. The literature reviewed for this paper aimed to connect women seeking or currently participating in STEM careers to the experiences encountered by participants in this study. Three themes were built from the interviews: design-build, influences, belonging, and self-efficacy. It was found creativity in design and building interests as a child and as a young adult impacted degree selection. Influences from family, peers, teachers, counselors, and mentors were found to affect potential students' pathways. The study also found it essential that students need an authentic connection to belonging to the environment, and self-efficacy was needed.
