Overview

This week, we will be covering chapters 13 and 14 regarding job loss, job transition, and concerns of adult clients.

Chapter 13 explores job loss and transition. In the last three decades more attention has been focused on the development of counseling programs for individuals who choose to make a career change or for those who are forced into it. Changing work roles appears to be inevitable and most certainly unavoidable for many in the workforce especially as people live longer and financial security is not always certain.

Chapter 14 looks at concerns for adult career development. Adults will make multiple career choices over their lifespan. As a result, adults will be challenged to meet the demands of changing technology as well as changing work roles and rules. This chapter will explore many themes adults face in the workforce.
