Gaining Cultural Competence in Career Counseling is a supplement designed to help counselors and counselors-in-training simultaneously acquire competence in both career counseling and multicultural counseling. The goal of this text is not only to describe the philosophical reasons for practicing culturally appropriate career counseling, but also to provide counselors with concrete ways to implement those philosophies. The first half of the book comprises four chapters focusing on the foundational skills for effective counseling across cultures. It is crucial for counselors and counselors-in-training to master these multicultural skills before moving on to the second half of the text, which integrates those multicultural competencies with specific career counseling competencies.
