career goals."" (APA 2016) The text focuses on the topic of
self-knowledge and helps students apply this information to career
decision-making. Students assess and evaluate their Values,
Interests, and Skills, providing them with vital information for
career planning. Utilizing cognitive information processing theory

for educational and career planning. ""Exhibit self-efficacy and
self-regulation."" (APA 2016) The text provides valuable
information from cognitive psychology to aid students in making
proactive, self-directed decisions about their futures. It presents
a five-phase career decision-making model and explains how one's
metacognitions can be changed to enhance decision-making
effectiveness. ""Refine project-management skills."" (APA 2016) The
text guides students through concrete, measureable steps for
meeting their career goals, providing them with an understanding of
how to break down complex tasks into smaller, manageable actions.
It features a conceptual framework based on theory and research,
the CASVE Cycle, which empowers students with a schema for
executing educational, occupational, or employment plans. ""Enhance
teamwork capacity."" (APA 2016) The text explains how individual
careers may unfold in the context of organizational behavior; the
global economy; new ways of working; and the relationships among
supervisors, co-workers, and family members. The text prompts
readers to network in their communities and draw upon the knowledge
of others as mentors and advisors. ""Develop meaningful
professional direction for life after graduation."" (APA 2016) All
aspects of the text are written to help students develop
professional goals and maximize opportunities for discovering and
executing post-graduation plans. Through the presentation of
resources and strategies that help students explore their interests
and options, the text gives them the tools to pursue meaningful
careers in further education, employment, or community engagement.
