According to the CESP Candidate Handbook1, one of the core competencies of Domain 2 (Individualized Employment and Career Planning) is to "assist the job seeker in identifying interests, skills, preferences, and support needs related to employment". This involves using various methods such as assessments, interviews, observations, and discovery activities to help the job seeker explore different career options and find a good match. Finding an apprenticeship, locating an internship, or placing the individual in an entry-level job are all possible outcomes of the career exploration process, but they are not the best way to start supporting the job seeker who has no work experience, no clear interests, and who is unsure about their career goals.
