Career Development Interventions

Written by Spencer G. Niles and JoAnn Harris-Bowlsbey, Career Development Interventions is a college textbook on helping people plan and manage their careers. This revised edition was published by Pearson in 2021.

It is aimed at students training to support others with career choices, and at professionals who already do that work. The text includes narrative examples and illustrations alongside the main discussion.

What the book is about

Career development interventions are the methods counselors and advisers use to help someone choose, change or progress in a career. The book places that work within the wider context of employment and the economy, so readers see why career decisions matter beyond the individual.

Who uses it

• Graduate students in counseling, especially career counseling courses
• College and university career services staff
• School counselors who advise students on careers
• Professionals who want to build their career development skills

Format

The book is a trade paperback. Narrative passages and illustrations break up the text and give concrete examples of the ideas it presents.

Using the text in a counseling programme

Career counseling is a required area in many counselor education programmes, and a textbook focused on interventions gives students the practical side of that requirement. The examples in the book help connect theory to the kind of work a career adviser does with clients.
