Bibliography

The bibliography provides research-based accountability for our career exploration coaching approach. It is a resource of best-practice information, theories and data. The following research comes from federal, state, and local levels of government; public school administrations and professional associations supporting career education programs. The benefits of career exploration programs serving youth, parents and the community are recognized over a broad range of sources. The inspiration for this bibliography came from the extensive work by the National Center for Career Exploration.
