Career development theories have been presented and discussed for many years. These theories tend to fall into four different categories: trait, psychological, decision, and developmental. Some examples of these theories include but are not limited to Holland’s theory of vocational types, Bandura’s social cognitive theory, Super’s development of self-concept theory, Erikson’s theory of career development, and optimal theory.
Using the “Career Development Theories and Models” template (located in the topic Resources), compare three different career development theories or models previously mentioned.
In a 500 word analysis describe which theory or model you believe is the most comprehensive and applicable to career counseling today and why. Complete the analysis in the same document as the template.
