Reflecting on resources you locate in the professionalliterature, consider the types of career-planning information andresources you might draw from when exploring career-related issueswith clients and students.
For this discussion, imagine that you are working with a17-year-old adolescent and his family. They have come to see youbecause the teen is not attending school regularly and states thathe intends to drop out because school is boring and hewants to start working and be treated like an adult. Hisparents state that they are willing to treat him like anadult if he prepares for his future appropriately andcan demonstrate that he will be able to find a job he enjoys andearn enough income to support himself. He is not sure what kind ofcareer path he would like to follow and would consider vocationaltraining.
1) As the counselor, what knowledge about career and educationalplanning do you need to begin your work with this teen?
2) How would you go about locating resources that would behelpful for the teen and his family?
