Vocational Counselling
Definition
Vocational counseling includes professional and personal counseling, that
incorporates an additional focus on the theory and research of career
development and the unique vocational needs of individuals with disabilities.
The goal of vocational counseling is to assist and empower individuals with
various disabilities (including neuropsychological) to achieve their career
goals in the most integrated setting possible. Vocational counseling should be
the central and guiding agent within the overall vocational rehabilitation
process.
Vocational Counselling
* The choice of a vocation is one of the crucial decisions in one’s life. It determines the
type of people one would work with, the nature of the environment in which one would
work and the type of work one is going to do.
* Hence a career should be chosen with utmost care, thought and planning.
* However, it is often found that this crucial decision is taken very lightly and not enough
consideration and planning is given to it.
* Vocational counseling should be an integral part of the total educational process.
Ginzberg Theory
• Ginzberg suggests three stages: Fantasy, Tentative & the Realistic stages in vocational
choice.
• First, the individual makes choice at the fantasy level that is he wishes to be an artist or
space scientist without taking into account the reality.
• At the tentative stage the person thinks about certain vocations on a tentative basis, but
at the realistic stage he takes a decision based on his real abilities, aptitude, interest etc.
• A vocational counselor should know about the different theories of vocational
development in order to provide better and comprehensive counseling to the individual.
Goals of Vocational Counseling
Vocational Counseling today has become a process in which the experienced and
trained person assists an individual:
1) to understand himself and his opportunities,
2) to make appropriate adjustments and decisions in light of his understanding,
3) to accept the responsibility for his choice,
4) to follow a course of action in harmony with his choice.
Vocational Counselors
• It is also called employment counselors or career counselors, usually provide career
counseling outside the school setting. Their chief focus is helping individuals with career
decisions.
• Vocational counselors explore and evaluate the client’s education, training, work history,
interests, skills, and personality traits. They may arrange for aptitude and achievement
tests to help the client make career decisions.

locating and applying for jobs.
