Career development is one of the major areas of focus for counsellors. Professional counsellors offer guidance to their clients on a variety of vocational issues, including self-awareness, personal development, and career decision making (Zunker, 2012).

Career Development Five-year career development plan The unstable economy might cause a recent college graduate to throw up his or her hands in despair at the idea of planning for the next five months in today's economic environment, much less his or her professional development over the course of the next five years.
