Literature Review
Different researchers have discussed the need for elementary school career education.
According Ediger (2000), elementary school career education is important. Ediger stated that
"the elementary school years are not too early to begin to achieve a vision of what one desires to
do in life contributing to the world of work". Without career education, students have unrealistic
perceptions of careers due to a lack of knowledge and poor decision making. Students have
limited knowledge and exposure to careers. When students look at the different industries e.g.
sports, media and entertainment, most students underestimate the skills and time required to have
successful careers.
Richard W. Auger, Anne E. Blackhurst, Kay Herting Wahl reported the importance of
elementary school career education. There is increasing evidence in the research literature that
career development is a lifelong process that begins in childhood (Magnuson & Starr, 2000;
Trice, 1991; Trice & McClellan, 1993, 1994). Research also suggested that elementary-aged
children may tend to aspire to careers that are out of the reach of all but a select few, such as a
career as a professional athlete (Bobo, Hildreth, & Durodoye, 1998; Cook et al., 1996; Helwig,
2001).
Donna E. Palladino Schultheiss, Thomas V. Palma, Alberta J. Manzi cited that research suggests
that students who drop out of school at age 16 have psychologically disengaged from school
as early as Grade 3 (McWhirter, McWhirter, McWhirter, & McWhirter, 1998). Moreover,
sixth-through-ninth-grade children have demonstrated very little understanding of how school
relates to the real world and seem to have little to no awareness of the skills and knowledge
needed for success in the future (Johnson, 2000).
There are two versions – the RIASEC Version and the Children’s Version.
The RIASEC Version is for Middle School students. For Middle School students, the RIASEC
Version should be used with the Self-Directed Search Career Explorer.

Testimonials
We used all three of your wonderful career training materials Paint with Colors, Picture
Inventory Codes, and Holland’s Self Directed Search for children in K-12 settings in mainland
China and met with tremendous success! Our company InterLangua was asked to establish
Career Guidance with the YuCai Group Education Consortium (Shenzhen). Prior to this, Chinese
families in the school would get together and decide what would interest their child. There was
little formal exploration and matching of interests and abilities, rather, a seemingly rote list of
jobs and titles that were typical and practical.
Great materials for training in life skills! The easy to use, visual, job posters, games, and career
tests provide a wealth of ideas and discussions for us as career facilitators, and for teachers and
parents. We now have a common vocabulary with which to steer children into worlds of
discovery despite language and cultural barriers to career exploration. After our training, not
only were youngsters able to identify jobs they wanted to do in the future, but middle school kids
explored their current interests on deeper levels and talked to their parents about new jobs in
emerging fields.
From Sun Wei Hong – Quality Director, InterLangua LLC (Shenzhen, P.R. China)
One of our Chinese students, applying for top 10 colleges in the USA wrote, “Another thing I
really liked about the Holland Code test was how it offered a description of what kind of
personalities and characteristics were suitable for different jobs. It helped me find my match
more easily and led me to think more about what kind of person I really was and whether my
ideal job was really a good match for my personality traits.”
From: Wei Xiou Yang - senior student at Shenzhen Foreign Language School.
Using your Holland SDS materials at InterLangua’s Trainings, college youth found more clarity
in planning their college goals. One graduate student in finance wrote:“This is extremely useful
for those who are planning their career, looking for jobs or thinking about changing jobs.
Holland codes SDS helps them identify their potential domain and help them to achieve their
goals more quickly therefore happily! It really serves as a compass which guides people to the
direction of success.”
From Cao Xiao Zhou “Ben” – graduate student, Paris High-Technology Poly-technic.
I just reviewed the Paint Careers with Colors and really liked it. I look forward to using it in the
2007-08 school year here at Kealakehe Elementary in Kona As I mentioned, I will be teaching a
state-wide distance learning course called Establishing an Elementary Career/Guidance Program
for elementary school counselors to earn professional development credit. I will offer your
website as a resource for them to participate in the preview program as well. Congratulations on
developing a very user-friendly program for children!
...I think the Paint with Colors is a great tool for career exploration with children. My students
enjoyed using it, and I plan to use it in when I teach the Career Counseling course again next
summer. Thank you for making it available...
From: Dr. R. B. Palmer, Ph.D., Counseling Psychology Department, Eastern University
The children's version is simpler to understand and use than other interest inventories I have
reviewed… The pictures are clear, informative and stimulate career exploration and
conversation.
From: A. Eubanks, Vocational Services Program Manager, Stanford Home for Children
