Career development is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that recognises the inseparability of work and life. In this course, students will critically examine the origins of foundational career theories and evolving contemporary career development theories. Attention will be on the cultural and contextual origins of early theories, and the clients for whom they applied. Contemporary theories will be examined against rapid economic and technological change, and the relevance of career development to diverse groups and societies. Students will also be asked to critically evaluate the application of theoretical frameworks in a career-related practice setting. Consideration of the influence traditional theories maintain in current career practice, and the role of the career professional in challenging mainstream career theories will be a focus. It is assumed that for this course, students will have access to a career related practice-setting in which they are able to examine and apply concepts and issues, studied in this course.
