OCDA: Fostering Career Awareness and Development in the K-12 Setting

Ohio Career Development Association

April 15, 2026 12PM - 1PM EST

This session is designed for career counselors, school counselors, and educational practitioners working with K–12 students. Framed by Super’s Lifespan, Life-Space Theory, and Gottfredson’s Theory of Circumscription and Compromise, the presentation examines career development as a developmental process from early childhood through adolescence. Participants will explore how students’ self-concept, interests, and aspirations emerge over time and how counseling-informed, developmentally appropriate practices can support career awareness, employability skill development, and intentional pathway planning.
