About the Book

The purpose of this handbook is to assist high school students and college freshmen to make objective career decisions, and choose appropriate courses and training towards the achievement of their career goals. According to Frank Parsons (1854-1908), who was known as the father of vocational counselling, ideal career choices are based on matching personal traits (aptitude, abilities, resources, personality) with job factors (wages, environment etc.) to produce the best of the trait/factor theory of career development. In order to make decisions toward appropriate career choice, students need career information, which may include self-assessment tools, to help them develop their self-awareness, opportunity awareness and career education which students receive in high school. The curriculum in high school includes career planning, where students are given a wealth of information about career and college planning. School counsellors assist high school students in setting goals, researching options, and long range career and college planning. This book offers a simple and practical self-assessment tool to help students match their personality characteristics to occupations and make appropriate career and training decisions. Students would be able to take courses that would lead them towards their career goals. Parents would also benefit from this book, and would be able to guide their children in making good career decisions.
