Career Development and Employability: Empirical Studies with the Unemployed
This oral presentation will address the issues of career development and employability in adults, with special attention to the unemployed condition. We will examine the dimensions of career development that favor adaptability, and their relationship to employability. We will pay special attention to empirical studies conducted with unemployed adults before and after the pandemic. We draw implications for research and for the design of counseling interventions that support the career development and employability of unemployed adults.
