The task of making a career decision can seem daunting for many young people. Careers do not always follow a straightforward, logical trajectory, and chance events can define or change the course of one's career path. Youth may benefit from a learning environment designed to guide the imagining and inventing of their future. A wide range of experiential exercises can be used to invite clients to "construct their own selves." Kolb's experiential model would seem to offer one framework for constructivist counselors to use in developing a range of experiential activities, including case study approaches. Case study approaches can promote the brainstorming of possibilities and can encourage young people to take a role in learning by stimulating their curiosity. When young people learn to creatively think about the possibilities for other youths' lives, they are more likely to apply the process to their own lives. (Contains 11 references.) (Author)
