Vocational Psychology and Assessment with Immigrants in the United States: Future Directions for Training, Research, and Practice
Flores, Lisa Y.; Hsieh, Catherine; Chiao, Hung
Journal of Career Assessment, v19 n3 p323-332 Aug 2011
Immigrants are vital members of U.S. society and are essential contributors to the U.S. labor force. Today, immigrants comprise a significant portion of the U.S. population, however, career assessment research has largely ignored their work experiences, and career counselors are not trained on the intricacies on the delivery of career counseling and assessment services with this population. In this article, the authors provide an overview of current immigration patterns in the United States. In addition, the authors evaluate the current state of vocational psychology research with U.S. immigrants and provide suggestions for future vocational research and practice with immigrants and professional training for career counselors in this area. (Contains 1 table.)
