Vocational Exploration is a small group counseling approach for career development, used for helping young people and adults to make more effective career decisions by combining group dynamics and career development theory and procedures. The process consists of five phases, where five participants and a counselor progress through 18 sequenced group tasks in two-and-a-half hours. The results are clarification of a career goal and increased self confidence and knowledge in relation to the world of work. Included are job information questionnaires, funding proposal with goals and procedures, task chart, and evaluation. (Author/BMW)
