Financial security is cited among reasons why first-generation college students (FGCS) pursue higher education, yet the literature advocating the pursuit of a bachelor’s degree for its perceived value in the employment marketplace fails to include the need for career exploration and planning during the college years. The purpose of this grounded theory study was to examine how career counselors who had been the first in their families to go to college use their personal experience to support current FGCS. The findings of the study suggest that career counselors who share personal, relevant stories from their own college experiences can counter students’ feelings of isolation and confusion regarding career exploration and planning. Further, findings suggest that career counselors who actively partner with academic and student life colleagues on their campuses help FGCS students form a network of contacts, subsequently creating equitable social capital opportunities for all students.

“…In general, LGBTQ and BIPOC women face further discouragement when they reach college (Scheuermann et al, 2014; Storlie et al, 2016), including increased career barriers that may affect their level of committment to a career choice compared to their White, heterosexual counterparts. This was largely experienced as balancing familial expectations while studying in academic environments normed on largely White, heterosexual expectations (Caldera et al, 2003; Fisher et al, 2011; Lopez & Ann-Yi, 2006; Rivera et al, 2007; Stebleton et al, 2020). These experiences of systemic racism are deeply demoralizing, particularly to Black and Latinx college women (Bonifacio et al, 2018; Lopez & Ann-Yi, 2006; Rivera et al, 2007; Scheuermann et al, 2014).…”

To cope, some BIPOC and LBGTQ women cited social support from friends and family as a key factor in remaining committed to a career decision (Fisher et al, 2011; Stebleton et al, 2020).…”

The career development of women has been a longstanding topic of inquiry in vocational psychology. Two previous major reviews in this area consistently identified that women tend to experience more career barriers than men. This major contribution sought to extend this work by providing a third systematic review of the literature on women’s career development. We focused our review explicitly on the experiences of women rather than women compared to men. We seek to answer the question that has been asked for 50 years: Do we need a separate theory of women’s career development? Our findings suggest that women experience several barriers at various stages during the trajectory of their careers. We make the case that perceptions of career barriers are an integral construct to women’s career experiences and theoretical prepositions in vocational psychology should explicitly capture this construct in future investigations. We discuss implications for practice, training, and education.

“…It was also assumed that international students' choice is influenced by the development level of the region where a given university is located (Nichols, 2018 Recent evidence suggests that career development of foreign-born immigrants is related to the region where the university they graduated from is placed (Stebleton et al, 2018).…”

Regional development on the basis of smart specialisation entails the involvement of stakeholders in innovation processes such as business, public organisations, local government and academic sectors. Universities are the drivers of a region’s development because they have a broad research base. Using the methodology of the Joint Research Centre (European Commission), the impact of Sumy National Agrarian University on the development of the Sumy Region was assessed by such criteria as its cooperation with stakeholders, innovative infrastructure of the university, development of academic entrepreneurship, and its role in developing the region. The method of collecting qualitative data involved conducting structured interviews with the university administration and relevant departments. The collected data were analysed by content analysis. As a result of testing the methodology, its high level of applicability was noted in the Ukrainian academic space, outside the EU. It is recommended to use the method of assessing the impact of the university on the development of the region during the entrepreneurial discovery process, which follows the definition of priorities for the development of the region in the context of smart specialisation. The recommendations were given on the revival of cooperation with stakeholders, possible ways of developing academic entrepreneurship and building innovation infrastructure. The results of the research presented in this article may be used in university promotion within the region and the country as well in the context of smart specialisation. Policy makers may use the research results in order to provide regional innovation policy.
