Life Design and Career Counseling Innovative Outcomes (CCIO)

This article presents a case study that aims to describe the effectiveness of a life- design counseling approach using the Career Construction Interview (Savickas, 2010) with a final-year female engineering student. A qualitative tool, the Career Counseling Innovative Outcomes (CCIO), was administered before and after the intervention to describe the client’s change when using the life-design model. The results of the analysis using the CCIO coding system indicate that the life-design counseling allowed the participant to have a greater awareness of herself to au- tonomously develop her own career and life path. Further research on the CCIO may provide additional support for its effectiveness.
