“…Group interventions are efficacious and efficient means for helping individuals and sometimes even produce better outcomes than individual interventions (Barlow, 2010; Burlingame, Fuhriman, & Mosier, 2003). Those focusing on career issues and outcomes have also been shown to have a positive impact on career decision-making abilities, difficulties, and self-efficacy (e.g., Di Fabio & Maree, 2012; Rowell, Mobley, Kemer, & Giordano, 2014). A meta-analysis comparing various intervention modalities found that structured or workshop-like career group interventions were more effective than unstructured ones (Whiston, Brecheisen, & Stephens, 2003).…”

Dysfunctional career decision-making beliefs can impede individuals’ ability to make career decisions. The present research focused on evaluating the effectiveness of a group intervention aimed at facilitating the transition to civilian life of 1,194 young adults before discharge from military service using multivariate multilevel analysis. The results showed gender differences in the strength of dysfunctional career decision-making beliefs, as well as in the workshop’s effectiveness in reducing them. Before the workshop men reported stronger dysfunctional beliefs than women that involved chance or fate (β = .22) and perceived gender constraints (β = .47). The workshop had a greater effect on women than on men (β = 0.16) in reducing all five types of belief, especially those involving the criticality of the decision (β = 0.20) and perceived gender constraints (β = 0.22). The effectiveness of the workshop in reducing gender-related dysfunctional beliefs varied—it was greater for participants whose gender differed from that of their group facilitator. Implications for theory, future research, and counseling are discussed.

“…Group career counseling provides a supportive and holistic approach to counseling through which individuals can share concerns within small groups, where students can see that their concerns are shared by others (Pyle, 2007). When examining the effectiveness of different strategies, researchers found that when comparing no career counseling to group career counseling, students in the group sessions had significantly better career decision-making abilities (Rowell, Mobley, Kemer, & Giordano, 2014). Using traditional assessment tools, these researchers determined that the group dynamics provided both the freedom and the support needed to help students make career-related decisions.…”

Providing career preparation for our students continues to be a focus for faculty, departments, and institutions. Professional development is most effective when accessible to students in a number of ways. This article presents how career preparation can be incorporated in advising, through programming and assessment in a career center, and in the curriculum. We discuss the importance of career discussions in advising, the types of resources available in a career center, and finally, we review a number of courses in which faculty can incorporate discussions and assignments focused on careers in psychology. Through this multifaceted approach, students are more likely to obtain important career information, as they consider what path to take after their undergraduate education.

“…Counseling leaders have called for a return to the origins of the profession by centering on relevant issues that impact the career development of marginalized populations (Blustein, ; Hartung & Blustein, ; Zytowski, ). The diversification of race and ethnicity continue to increase on college campuses and college counselors must work with students' mental health concerns (Rowell, Mobley, Kemer, & Giordano, ) while addressing career development issues that emerge. African American women represent a growing number of students enrolling in higher education (Kena et al, ), which adds to diversity on college campuses.…”

The authors collected narrative data from 11 African American female college students at a predominantly White institution using the Career Construction Interview (Savickas & Hartung, ), the Future Career Autobiography (Rehfuss, ), and a qualitative career experiences questionnaire. Using the constant comparison method (Strauss & Corbin, ), the authors uncovered 4 overarching themes based on the unique experiences of participants. The authors present insights for college counselors providing career development services.
