Conclusions
Career education and development is an internationally
recognised activity.
There is an extensive evidence based.
However, Saudi Arabia will need to rethink it for its local
context.
Well trained professionals are critical.
The internet is changing the context for career
development.
There is a need to build a career development culture.
