Career Development Models

Career development models are frameworks that outline how individuals progress through their careers over time. These models typically explore stages such as self-assessment, exploration of options, decision-making, and implementation of career plans. They often take into account personal interests, skills, values, and external factors like market trends. By understanding these stages, individuals can make informed choices about education, job opportunities, and professional growth, ultimately helping them to achieve their career goals and adapt to changes in the workforce. Models include approaches like Super's Life-Span, Life-Space Theory and the Holland Codes for personality-job fit.
