摘要:The purpose of the current study was to determine the effect of career counseling on students’ career development in secondary schools in Kenya. The study sample consisted of 341 (158 males and 183 females) secondary school students from year one to year four of study. The students were surveyed on measures of career development. The study found that female students were more likely than male students to go for career counseling and that going for career counseling had no significant effect on students’ career development. There was no significant difference between those who had gone for career counseling and those who had not for all the measured variables. There is therefore great need for the development of a comprehensive guidance and counseling policy to guide the implementation and service delivery of counseling programs.
