According to Krumboltz's social learning theory, when should counselors provide vocational services?

  1. Only during the first meeting

  2. Dramatically focused on the job placement phase

  3. During initiation, ongoing, and follow-up services

  4. Only when clients request them

The correct answer is: During initiation, ongoing, and follow-up services

According to Krumboltz's social learning theory, vocational services should be provided throughout the entire counseling process, encompassing initiation, ongoing interactions, and follow-up services. This approach recognizes the importance of client development over time and the role that learning experiences play in shaping career decisions and outcomes. By providing support during the initiation phase, counselors can help clients set realistic goals and identify relevant opportunities based on their interests and skills. Ongoing services allow for adjustments to be made as clients encounter new experiences and challenges, ensuring that their vocational strategies remain aligned with their evolving circumstances and aspirations. Follow-up services are essential for assessing progress, reinforcing successful strategies, and addressing any emerging barriers. This comprehensive support system enhances the likelihood of successful vocational outcomes, aligning closely with the dynamic nature of learning and development in career counseling.
