Career Counseling Latinas: Enhancing Career Services for Latinas on Campus

Abstract

Latinas on campus have a very distinct need when it comes to career decision-making processes. The present study examines the ways in which Latinas make career decisions and attempts to enhance their career self-efficacy through peer group career counseling. The existing literature about Latinas and careers was discussed and their values, cultural beliefs, and traditions were analyzed. Results of a psychoeducational intervention using non-directive counseling were included. The limitations and implications for further studies were discussed.
