Background of the Study
Career choice has been the major content of vocational advocacy. However, preparedness to take advantage of the openings in the area of career choice is more important than the mere choice of a career. To develop a career is a lifetime process encompassing the growth and change processes of childhood, through formal education at school throughout a person’s working adulthood and into retirement. Career development occurs through life and it is enhanced by lifelong learning. The term career as defined by Herr, Cramer and Niles (2004) is a sequence of interaction of individuals with society, education and organisations throughout their lifespan. A career can be defined as a pattern of work experiences comprising the entire life span of a person and which is generally seen with regard to a number of phases or stages reflecting the transition from one stage of life to the next (Weinert, 2001). Similarly, Collin (1998) explains that the term career arises from the interaction of individuals with organisations and society. This interaction, as Savickas (2009) proposes, is no longer merely just a sequence of jobs but is now a story or an identity that working people build about themselves.
