Krumboltz's Learning Theory of Career Counseling

Krumboltz's Learning Theory of Career Counseling suggests that our career choices are shaped by our learning experiences—such as observing others, experimenting with activities, and how we interpret these events. It emphasizes that outside influences (like family, society, and chance encounters) and our own actions guide our career development. The theory encourages individuals to explore options, learn from experiences, and adapt their goals over time, recognizing that career paths are flexible and shaped by ongoing learning rather than fixed traits or skills. It promotes a proactive approach to making informed, adaptable career decisions.
