High School Counselors' Support and Latina/o Students' Career Development
Vela, Javier Cavazos; Flamez, Brandé; Clark, Ashley
Journal of School Counseling, v13 n11 2015
The current study examined the impact of high school counselors' support of Latina/o students' career development outcomes. We used a quantitative, predictive design to explore Latina/o students' vocational self-efficacy and outcome expectations. Perceptions of investment, accessibility, positive regard, appraisal, and expectations from school counselors did not impact Latina/o students' vocational self-efficacy or outcome expectations. In addition to a discussion regarding the importance of these findings, implications for school counselors and researchers are offered.
