    Literature Review

    Different researchers have discussed the need for elementary school career education. According Ediger (2000), elementary school career education is important. Ediger stated that “the elementary school years are not too early to begin to achieve a vision of what one desires to do in life contributing to the world of work”. Without career education, students have unrealistic perceptions of careers due to a lack of knowledge and poor decision making. Students have limited knowledge and exposure to careers. When students look at the different industries e.g. sports, media and entertainment, most students underestimate the skills and time required to have successful careers. Richard W. Auger, Anne E. Blackhurst, Kay Herting Wahl reported the importance of elementary school career education. There is increasing evidence in the research literature that career development is a lifelong process that begins in childhood (Magnuson & Starr, 2000; Trice, 1991; Trice & McClellan, 1993, 1994). Research also suggested that elementary-aged children may tend to aspire to careers that are out of the reach of all but a select few, such as a career as a professional athlete (Bobo, Hildreth, & Durodoye, 1998; Cook et al., 1996; Helwig, 2001). Donna E. Palladino Schultheiss, Thomas V. Palma, Alberta J. Manzi cited that research suggests that students who drop out of school at age 16 have psychologically disengaged from school as early as Grade 3 (McWhirter, McWhirter, McWhirter, & McWhirter, 1998). Moreover, sixth-through-ninth-grade children have demonstrated very little understanding of how school relates to the real world and seem to have little to no awareness of the skills and knowledge needed for success in the future (Johnson, 2000).

    Testimonials

    We used all three of your wonderful career training materials Paint with Colors, Picture Inventory Codes, and Holland’s Self Directed Search for children in K-12 settings in mainland China and met with tremendous success! Our company InterLangua was asked to establish Career Guidance with the YuCai Group Education Consortium (Shenzhen). Prior to this, Chinese families in the school would get together and decide what would interest their child. There was little formal exploration and matching of interests and abilities, rather, a seemingly rote list of jobs and titles that were typical and practical. From Elisabeth Montgomery, Ph.D. – InterLangua, LLC (Shenzhen, P.R. China) Great materials for training in life skills! The easy to use, visual, job posters, games, and career tests provide a wealth of ideas and discussions for us as career facilitators, and for teachers and parents. We now have a common vocabulary with which to steer children into worlds of discovery despite language and cultural barriers to career exploration. After our training, not only were youngsters able to identify jobs they wanted to do in the future, but middle school kids explored their current interests on deeper levels and talked to their parents about new jobs in emerging fields. From Sun Wei Hong – Quality Director, InterLangua LLC (Shenzhen, P.R. China) One of our Chinese students, applying for top 10 colleges in the USA wrote, “Another thing I really liked about the Holland Code test was how it offered a description of what kind of personalities and characteristics were suitable for different jobs. It helped me find my match more easily and led me to think more about what kind of person I really was and whether my ideal job was really a good match for my personality traits.” From: Wei Xiou Yang – senior student at Shenzhen Foreign Language School. Using your Holland SDS materials at InterLangua’s Trainings, college youth found more clarity in planning their college goals. One graduate student in finance wrote:“This is extremely useful for those who are planning their career, looking for jobs or thinking about changing jobs. Holland codes SDS helps them identify their potential domain and help them to achieve their goals more quickly therefore happily! It really serves as a compass which guides people to the direction of success.” From Cao Xiao Zhou “Ben” – graduate student, Paris High-Technology Poly-technic. I just reviewed the Paint Careers with Colors and really liked it. I look forward to using it in the 2007-08 school year here at Kealakehe Elementary in Kona As I mentioned, I will be teaching a state-wide distance learning course called Establishing an Elementary Career/Guidance Program for elementary school counselors to earn professional development credit. I will offer your website as a resource for them to participate in the preview program as well. Congratulations on developing a very user-friendly program for children! From: M. Bernier, School Counselor, Kealakehe Elementary School …I think the Paint with Colors is a great tool for career exploration with children. My students enjoyed using it, and I plan to use it in when I teach the Career Counseling course again next summer. Thank you for making it available… From: Dr. R. B. Palmer, Ph.D., Counseling Psychology Department, Eastern University The children’s version is simpler to understand and use than other interest inventories I have reviewed… The pictures are clear, informative and stimulate career exploration and conversation. From: A. Eubanks, Vocational Services Program Manager, Stanford Home for Children

    Testimonials


    …I think the Paint with Colors is a great tool for career exploration with children. My students enjoyed using it, and I plan to use it in when I teach the Career Counseling course again next summer. Thank you for making it available…

    From: Dr. R. B. Palmer, Ph.D., Counseling Psychology Department, Eastern University

    The children’s version is simpler to understand and use than other interest inventories I have reviewed… The pictures are clear, informative and stimulate career exploration and conversation.

    From: A. Eubanks, Vocational Services Program Manager, Stanford Home for Children

    We used all three of your wonderful career training materials Paint with Colors, Picture Inventory Codes, and Holland’s Self Directed Search for children in K-12 settings in mainland China and met with tremendous success! Our company InterLangua was asked to establish Career Guidance with the YuCai Group Education Consortium (Shenzhen). Prior to this, Chinese families in the school would get together and decide what would interest their child. There was little formal exploration and matching of interests and abilities, rather, a seemingly rote list of jobs and titles that were typical and practical.

    From Elisabeth Montgomery, Ph.D. – InterLangua, LLC

    Literature Review

    Different researchers have discussed the need for elementary school career education.

    According Ediger (2000), elementary school career education is important. Ediger stated that “the elementary school years are not too early to begin to achieve a vision of what one desires to do in life contributing to the world of work”. Without career education, students have unrealistic perceptions of careers due to a lack of knowledge and poor decision making. Students have limited knowledge and exposure to careers. When students look at the different industries e.g. sports, media and entertainment, most students underestimate the skills and time required to have successful careers.

    Richard W. Auger, Anne E. Blackhurst, Kay Herting Wahl reported the importance of elementary school career education. There is increasing evidence in the research literature that career development is a lifelong process that begins in childhood (Magnuson & Starr, 2000; Trice, 1991; Trice & McClellan, 1993, 1994). Research also suggested that elementary-aged children may tend to aspire to careers that are out of the reach of all but a select few, such as a career as a professional athlete (Bobo, Hildreth, & Durodoye, 1998; Cook et al., 1996; Helwig, 2001).

    Donna E. Palladino Schultheiss, Thomas V. Palma, Alberta J. Manzi cited that research suggests that students who drop out of school at age 16 have psychologically disengaged from school as early as Grade 3 (McWhirter, McWhirter, McWhirter, & McWhirter, 1998). Moreover, sixth-through-ninth-grade children have demonstrated very little understanding of how school relates to the real world and seem to have little to no awareness of the skills and knowledge needed for success in the future (Johnson, 2000).

    Paint Careers With Colors Used in Mainland China

    Here are some review of the Paint Careers With Colors System

    We used all three of your wonderful career training materials Paint with Colors, Picture Inventory Codes, and Holland’s Self Directed Search for children in K-12 settings in mainland China and met with tremendous success! Our company InterLangua was asked to establish Career Guidance with the YuCai Group Education Consortium (Shenzhen). Prior to this, Chinese families in the school would get together and decide what would interest their child. There was little formal exploration and matching of interests and abilities, rather, a seemingly rote list of jobs and titles that were typical and practical.

    From Elisabeth Montgomery, Ph.D. – InterLangua, LLC (Shenzhen, P.R. China)

    Great materials for training in life skills! The easy to use, visual, job posters, games, and career tests provide a wealth of ideas and discussions for us as career facilitators, and for teachers and parents. We now have a common vocabulary with which to steer children into worlds of discovery despite language and cultural barriers to career exploration. After our training, not only were youngsters able to identify jobs they wanted to do in the future, but middle school kids explored their current interests on deeper levels and talked to their parents about new jobs in emerging fields.

    From Sun Wei Hong – Quality Director, InterLangua LLC (Shenzhen, P.R. China)

    One of our Chinese students, applying for top 10 colleges in the USA wrote, “Another thing I really liked about the Holland Code test was how it offered a description of what kind of personalities and characteristics were suitable for different jobs. It helped me find my match more easily and led me to think more about what kind of person I really was and whether my ideal job was really a good match for my personality traits.”

    From: Wei Xiou Yang – senior student at Shenzhen Foreign Language School.

    Using your Holland SDS materials at InterLangua’s Trainings, college youth found more clarity in planning their college goals. One graduate student in finance wrote:“This is extremely useful for those who are planning their career, looking for jobs or thinking about changing jobs. Holland codes SDS helps them identify their potential domain and help them to achieve their goals more quickly therefore happily! It really serves as a compass which guides people to the direction of success.”

    From Cao Xiao Zhou “Ben” – graduate student, Paris High-Technology Poly-technic.
