Curry and Milsom take an intentional and realistic approach to career development that is inclusive of all students at each developmental stage, and they recognize that the training and path to pursuing a career is unique to each person. They offer action-oriented career development approaches that school counselors can utilize to supplement classroom learning and engage communities. This book is beneficial to new and veteran school counselors, and highlights relevant and real life issues students are dealing with and the impact on their career choices.
