Choose between one of the hypothetical cases of Mei Lei, Lakeesha, or Vincent. With the understanding that you are a career counselor, analyze the client’s career counseling needs in accordance with one of the following career theories: Super, Holland, Dawis & Lofquist, Krumboltz, and Lent, Brown, and Hackett. Within your analysis, explore the contextual issues within the case related to culture and family and develop a tentative plan for assisting this client with their career development needs. Create a 10-14-slide presentation that captures the following information:

• Basic demographics such as age, sex, race, and education


• Career development thus far


• Reason(s) (external and internal) for seeking career counseling


• Any unique problems that may influence the counseling session (e.g., disability, economic problems, mental health problems, cultural considerations) and how you would address these issues


• A detailed overview of your theory of choice. Be sure to identify the major concepts associated with the theory


• An explanation of how the theory’s major concepts could be used to understand your client’s situation and counseling needs and/or guide your selection of helping strategies.


• Information needed for the initial assessment


• Steps in the career development process


• Two career resources that may be useful in facilitating the career development of the client


•  At least two career assessments/tools you would use to facilitate the career development process and discuss how the results of each assessment/tool may benefit the client.


• Application of one ethical principle


• Application of at least two standards from the NCDA Code of Ethics


• Referrals needed (if any)


• Include at least five scholarly references.
