β¦ Synopsis
The current challenges confronting career counselors require increased discourse regarding career counseling models. Some authors have initiated this discourse, but more participants are needed. The need also exists to communicate more aggressively the special expertise that career counselors bring to their work.

Career counselors can embrace these activities by building on past practices to construct a vision for the future.
