• Describe how vocational guidance and career counseling practices change between different developmental stages across the lifespan.

The research, based on the developmental perspective indicates that the primary regarding career counseling has to do with factor of uncertainty. For example, individuals are unable to making career decisions because he or she is uncertain about making a choice, or change regarding a career, or job change.

(1) Developmental changes based on Savickas (2005) Career counseling theory

Career counseling practice is noted in the theoretical framework of the "Career Construction theory" (CCT, Savickas, 2005 as cited in Galvin & Berger, 2012). The CCT enhances Hollands's I1959) theory (1959 as cited in Nauta, 2010) development change necessary to on career choice. Holland also stressed the significance of a personality type (a person's character makeup) in career choice.
According to Galvin and Berger (2012), the CCT focuses on important aspects of making a career choice such as persons with special needs, and those experiencing mental difficulties. From this CCT perspective, the difficulty with making a career choice is eased with the individual being able to make sense of his or her decision.

Life themes explain why individuals make occupational choices). For instance, based on the CCT approach career exploration suggests than individual's choice must have significance. For instance, the choice of one's career must hold personal meaning for the individual.

Savickas (2005) views on Career adaptability was borrowed from Super's (1957) vocational theory focused on client maturity, how individuals interact with the environment and others (cited in Galvin & Berger, 2012).
