Over the last few weeks I’ve been posting a set of videos providing an introduction to various aspects of career theory. I thought that I might pull all of these together into a single list so that anyone who was interested could work through this as a self-study course.
I’d be interested to know what people think and what people think that I’ve missed from my basic canon of career theory.
- Introduction to career theory
- Matching theories
- Developmentalism
- Structuralism and the sociological tradition
- Social cognitive career theory
- Narrative theory and life design
- Emancipatory career theories
I hope some of this is of interest. If you like it then subscribe to my YouTube channel. You’ll find a lot more of this sort of stuff there!
