INTEGRATING CAREER COUNSELING AND TECHNOLOGY.

Advances in technology have made the world of work an unstable and unpredictable place for current and future generations of workers. Furthermore, technology has become such an integral part of our lives that it has changed the way we conduct business, communicate with another, and interact with society. To be successful, we have no other choice than to accept and embrace these changes. If children are mastering software such as PowerPoint in grade school, one can only imagine, what they will be using when they attend college. Career professionals in particular can use technology to enhance the services they provide clients. This paper discusses technology and techniques to help counselor educators teach career counseling, and help practitioners provide direct service to clients. Case studies provide examples of how simple techniques can have a major impact on students' thoughts about career counseling. The authors also provide suggestion for future research.
