Title: ”Unraveling the Origins of Career Counseling: A Journey Through Time” The roots of career counseling can be traced back to the early 20th century, emerging as a response to societal shifts and the industrial revolution. Frank Parsons, often regarded as the father of vocational guidance, pioneered this movement. His seminal work, "Choosing a Vocation," laid the groundwork for structured career guidance. Parsons envisioned a systematic approach to help individuals navigate career choices by assessing their skills, interests, and values. This marked the birth of career counseling, emphasizing the alignment between an individual's aptitudes and suitable occupations. Over time, World War I further propelled the need for vocational guidance to assist soldiers transitioning to civilian life. This catalyzed the establishment of guidance programs in schools and universities. The field continued to evolve, integrating psychological theories, standardized assessments, and counseling techniques. Today, career counseling encompasses diverse methodologies, technology-driven assessments, and a global perspective, aiding individuals in shaping fulfilling professional trajectories.

In addition to the academic accomplishments and educational experiences you bring to the table, there are a number of things you can do to set yourself apart in the eyes of employers when it comes to landing that amazing job.

Because employment levels in Chicago and beyond have rebounded since the COVID-19 pandemic, but a new report has found teens and young adults across the city, particularly those of color, are still struggling to find consistent work. Black and Latino youth and young adults in Chicago continue to have higher jobless and out-of-school-and-jobless rates compared to White Chicagoans,” the report states, “highlighting the importance of implementing targeted programs to promote more equitable employment opportunities for youth and young adults.” According to the report, there were tens of thousands of teens and young adults in Chicago between the ages of 16-24 who are both out of school and jobless in 2022 — the year this study examined. Chicago remains worse off than Illinois and the U.S in joblessness for Black and Latino 16- to 19-year-olds and 20-to-24-year-olds, the report found. The highest percentages of joblessness in Chicago, recorded at 92.8%, were found around the South and West side neighborhoods of Pilsen, Bridgeport, McKinley Park, Fuller Park and Back of the Yards. The Far South Side of Chicago in particular had a large cluster of high jobless rates ranging from 86.7% to 92% for 16-to-19-year-olds, the report found. #HCSCcareers #BCBSIL #JobFair #ChicagoJobs #CareerOpportunities #JobSearch #ChicagoUrbanLeague
