Knowledge-Information-Service Era Changes in Work and Education and the Changing Role of the School Counselor in Career Education

Career Development Quarterly, March, 2001 by Kenneth B. Hoyt, Pat Nellor Wickwire

The operational philosophy and the short-term and long-term goals of career education are essentially the same as those for the professional school counselor movement. It is time for professional school counselors nationwide to assume leadership roles in organizing and conducting career education programs for all pupils from kindergarten through Grade 12. This leadership by school counselors will eventually help to create the kinds of employees in the high-skills workplace that are necessary for America to compete and succeed in the international marketplace.
