“…Therefore, counselors engaged in career counseling should have the background that prepares them to operate from a well-researched career counseling theory/approach, such as CIP, and should be capable ofpresenting the rationale for the way in which CACGs fit into that perspective. Practitioners interested in learning more about how to integrate CIP theory with the use ofCACGs are referred to Sampson et al (1992). A third implication is the important role oforientation to CACGs.…”

Although existing literature suggests that client anticipations affect career counseling, previous studies have not systematically assessed client anticipations prior to using computer‐assisted career guidance (CACG) systems in career counseling. This study describes how 55 clients from a career center at a large, southeastern university anticipated using CACG systems to help in their career decision making and problem solving. Using a Cognitive Information Processing framework, responses to a cued and a free response survey indicated that clients' most frequent anticipations included increased career options, enhanced self‐knowledge, and strengthened occupational knowledge.

“…Research indicates that CACG systems are most effective when used in conjunction with competent counseling (Eveland, Conyne, & Blakney, 1998;Sampson et al, 1992). They are frequently used in the context of a counseling relationship, although users commonly have access to the systems with little or no human intervention.…”

This article examines the impact of the Internet on the provision of career information and describes the development of a career and educational information web site. Three models for linking career assessment to career information are evaluated: Print-based, Computer-Assisted Career Guidance systems, and Internet-based. The design of Career Exploration Links is described in detail as a case study in organizing career and educational information on the Internet and guiding a diverse college student population toward accessing this information in meaningful ways. This case demonstrates a number of advantages that underlie the Internet-based model as a vehicle for linking career assessment with career information.

“…Indeed, exactly the same career intervention has seldom been tested with different samples on different occasions. The current authors could find only one exception, entailing the computerized career guidance program entitled DISCOVER, which has been examined in at least three investigations (Fukuyama et al, 1988; Luzzo & Pierce, 1996; Sampson et al, 1992). Fukuyama et al, utilizing a convenience sample of students from a United States university, found that the DISCOVER program “had a positive effect on career self-efficacy and career decision making for undergraduate participants” (p. 61).…”

Despite widespread acknowledgement of the importance of career development programs to assist students in their complex transition from school to work, very few specific career education interventions have been objectively evaluated. The aim of this paper is to highlight what the authors consider to be a conspicuous shortfall in the career development literature to date, that is, reports of methodologically sound career intervention studies carried out in actual high school settings. International trends in the world of work are briefly discussed in association with the repercussions these changes are producing for today's youth. The major portion of this article is devoted to a comprehensive review of career intervention studies with particular attention paid to the methodological and theoretical issues that resonate from this review process. Recommendations for future research are proposed.
