“…This happened at a key career-life juncture when she was about to transition from the senior to the further education and training phase. The success of the intervention supports the findings of other researchers regarding the power of career construction counselling to help young people in particular bolster enhance their self-and career identity, improve their self-knowledge, and clarify and actively pursue their future career-life roles (Maree & Jude, 2018;Peila-Shuster, 2017;Porfeli, 2003;Reid & West, 2011;Savickas, 2008, July;Taber et al, 2011).…”

“…He maintains that unless developmental tasks are mastered satisfactorily by young children, 'unmastered' developmental tasks will resurface later in their lives as 'problems' or challenges that need to be overcome and repurposed (given a new meaning).

This article describes the influence of counselling for career construction on an artistic young girl with career undecidedness. Purposeful sampling was used to select a 14-year-old participant from young children who had sought counselling for career construction in a private practice context. An explanatory, instrumental, single case, intervention study design was implemented and a mixed-methods paradigm adopted as the research framework. Counselling for career construction strategies were employed to gather and analyse the data. The results emphasized the importance of promoting career development in the early years of a person's life. Future research should investigate the viability of the approach demonstrated in the current study in diverse group contexts and as well as the longer-term value of the approach and investigate ways in which career development can be promoted as a facet of early child development.
