Our shifting occupational landscape draws attention to the need for flexibility, resilience, and adaptability in managing careers.

This session explores advances in research that can offer new perspectives for our work with diverse clients across the life span. Informed by research on career adaptability and positive psychology, the presenter highlights strategies for navigating challenges and increasing preparedness for clients facing uncertainty.

Workshop: Integrative Strategies for Career Assessment and Counseling: Blending Scores and Stories

Now more than ever career practitioners are striving to prepare clients for volatility and uncertainty affecting their careers. This endeavor requires attention to multiple perspectives and diverse sources of data to inform career interventions. Traditional career assessment inventories can provide important insights on clients' vocational interests, personality, work values, and abilities.

However, this information must be augmented with a thorough assessment of how clients approach the career decision-making process, their strategies for coping with potential internal and external barriers, and other contextual factors affecting their career plans.
