Career development during childhood and adolescence

an article by Erik J. Porfeli (Northeast Ohio Medical University, USA) and Bora Lee (Pennsylvania State University, USA) published in New Directions for Youth Development (Special Issue: Career Programming: Linking Youth to the World of Work) Volume 2012 Issue 134 (Summer 2012)

Abstract

Identity development is central to the career development of children and adolescents. This article reviews the literature pertaining to identity development as being composed of career exploration, commitment, and reconsideration and offers some implications for career interventions.

Hazel’s comment:
It is unfortunate that the articles in this publication are not more informative. I would recommend the whole issue to any careers or employment adviser working with young people. It’s available in the British Library if you can get to one of the reading rooms.
